Problems migrating CFMX7 --- CF8

Question

Kind sirs,

I'm having some problems in migrating from CFMX7 (developer
edition) to ColdFusion8.
I've created my website on CFMX7 and before publishing it
I've bought a brand new copy of ColdFusion8.

Installation goes fine, but when launching the new
administration server, migrating options come out and something
goes wrong.

--> Migration step:
Says "Configuring Server, please wait. This may take a few
minutes. 
If this screen doesn't refresh in a few minutes, click on
this link to Continue"

The screen doesn't refresh after 10 minutes. I click on
continue.

---> Export settings step
Seems to work fine, gives me a list of all settings taken
from the previous admin server and lets me click "next" to go on. I
click next.

---> Import settings step:
Says: "Importing your ColdFusion settings. This might take a
few minutes."

Screen never refreshes. I'm stuck here and can't go on.

Tried two times, uninstalling and reinstalling CF8, always
stuck here.
Pls advise solution, I'd like to try automatic migration
before uninstalling everything and set up a clean new CF8.

Thanks for the advice, tell me if more info is needed.

Best regards

Federico

I had the same problem and a Google search found several users requesting help for it but not getting an answer, so this is what worked for me. In the HTML source of the import settings page is the following HTTP meta refresh
/CFIDE/administrator/enter.cfm?import=true
by going to this address manually the configuration migration completed.
Hope that helps someone.
