Question

Moving from Windows to Linux

I have a site that is written in CF and running on Windows server.

The question I have is, if I wanted to run it on Linux would the code literally port over or is there a chance I will run into problems?

Maybe issues with case sensitivity which does not generally effect me in Windows so I did not pay a lot of attention to it

Thanks

Mark

Hello ACS,

Thank your for your post. The behavior of CF is exactly the same on Windows, as in Linux. We don't think you would face any issues, while moving from Windows to Linux. Please check the Support Matrix for CF 10 http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/products/coldfusion/pdfs/cf10/coldfusion10-support-matrix.pdf before moving over.

Please make sure, that you take a snapshot/backup of your complete server, before you migrate.

Regards,

Anit Kumar

Will the fact that I did not pay attention to case in the windows version cause any issues?

Thanks

Hello Mark,

No ColdFusion functions/code are case sensitive. The behavior of the code remains the same, irrespective of the Operating System.
