Hi people,

I have a local server running CF 6 that i do local testing on all my client sites running cf 5 - 7. A new client is running ver 8 and i was thinking of upgrading my local server... ???s

is it a bugfree deal. will cf 8 just overwrite cf 6 server and keep all the data, rds, custom tags, pointers to local files, etc or do i have to reapply all that.

will i have problems when testing cf 5 sites... these sites are fairly conservative tag wise but i am worried some tages may be depreciated to the point of gone... or radically rewritten.

anything else i need to be aware of would be appreciated

dell latitude d800, xp pro sp3, msSQL server2000 and the Macromedia MX studio. i have already updated HS and Dreamweaver with new tag updates.

tnx in advance

    I'm pretty sure you can have CF8 and CF6 running parallel should you wish to do that. Google around a bit for that info.

    I went from 5 to 7 and didn't have too many problems and nearly zero issues going 7 to 8. So using that model 5 to 8 might not be too bad for you.

    This is in version 8 (not sure if 7 had this) under Debugging & Logging / Code Analyzer

    The Code Compatibility Analyzer helps migrate your applications to ColdFusion from earlier versions of ColdFusion.

    The Code Compatibility Analyzer reviews the CFML pages that you specify and informs you of any potential compatibility issues. It detects unsupported and deprecated CFML features, and outlines the required implementation changes that ensure a smooth migration.
