Upgrading from CF 6.1 to CF9...

We're most likely going to be upgrading one of our servers from ColdFusion MX 6.1 to ColdFusion 9 (unless I can get Flex Remoting to work with CF 6.1)... But I'm terrified that it's going to break something... This is a working web-server, with a TON of .CFM pages on there (thousands, literally), and I really don't want to mess things up...

So, can someone point me to a site that has information on the changes that have been made since CF 6.1? Is there such a site?

Thanks,

And you can use the ColdFusion Code Analyzer

But yeah, as Dan said, definitely set up a test server and plan a series of tests that must pass.

A test server is definitely a good idea. Shouldn't be a problem to copy a few of our web-sites to the test server and give 'em a go...

And thanks for the tip on the Code Analyzer -- none of us had thought of that. That'd be the place to start, it would seem, once we get a few of our sites copied over to the test-server.

Thanks,

Use the code analyser in CF8 the one in CF9 doesn't check for anywhere near as much. Well such was my experience in going from CF5 -> 9

There are what's new pages for each version. However, if it was me, I'd set up a test server and test as much as you I thought was necessary.
