Hello all. I have a 2003 server running CF 4.5. We just purchased version 7 so I am looking for clues as to how to go about doing the upgrade.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Take care.

Joe

Test every single page. We did a similar upgrade and generally speaking, version 7 less forgiving of less that ideal code than version 4.5

We recently did the same upgrade - 4.5 to MX 7 - we built a new box for the install because we needed it anyway. It was pretty straight-forward. I did find the code analyzer tool very helpful in finding any issues with old deprecated code. You'll want to use that once you get your install done. And we went to using the thin-client jdbc drivers for the db connections. We connect mainly to Oracle for most of our projects. I can give info if needed how to do this.

Our situation is very similar to yours. We are going to install MX 7 on a new box. How did you migrate CF 4.5 settings to a new server?

You have to install ColdFusion 7 on the same box and see if it will recognize your ColdFusion 4.5 installation. I believe it won't, as the last version that ColdFusion MX recognixes is 5. But you can give it a shot. If it does recognize it, then it will migrate all the settings. If it does not recognize it, then you will have to do everything manually, as there is no specific procedure in place on how to migrate from 4.5 to 7.
