How do I update old CF version websites?

MS SQL.

What sort of database are you using with this app?

Anyone want to earn a quick buck or two and help me update this website? Let me know.

Have you tried this?

Does anyone know how i can update the site?


CONNECTSTRING and other "dynamic/runtime" DSN connection parameters of
the <cfquery> tag are deprecated in the current versions of ColdFusion.
These queries will have to be rewritten to use named data sources that
are configured in the CF administrator.

I have to migrate the website to a server that is running CF MX and the site being created in CF 5.0 is not compatable. When i go to the site location on the new server, i get the following error message. Does anyone know how i can update the site?

Error Occurred While Processing Request
Attribute validation error for tag query.
The tag does not have an attribute called CONNECTSTRING. The valid attribute(s) are name, datasource, dbtype, sql, username, password, maxrows, blockfactor, timeout, cachedafter, cachedwithin, debug.

Please try the following:
Enable Robust Exception Information to provide greater detail about the source of errors. In the Administrator, click Debugging & Logging > Debugging Settings, and select the Robust Exception Information option.
Check the ColdFusion documentation to verify that you are using the correct syntax.
Search the Knowledge Base to find a solution to your problem.

Dreamweaver and CF are two entirely different products for totally different functions.

You can use Dreamweaver to write CF applications. Other than that, there is no relationship between the two.

What, specifically, do you want to update? Is the site not working correctly on CFMX?

No there is no easy updater function. What is easy is, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".
