Hi,

Does someone has information on migrating ColdFusion4.5 to ColdFusion9.0.

If then please let me know is there any considerable issues while doing this migration.

Thanks,

A few other notes:

CF has a code analyzer to help identify issues. It is in the CF Administrator (under debugging if I remember right). Load up CF 9 on your local machine (its free for dev use) copy over the code and point the analyzer to the folder to see what it comes up with.

Many new functions have been added to CF such as fileCopy() Lots of people wrote their own functions or UDFs. Now with new functions or vars with same name it can cause conflicts.

If you use verity read through some forums or posts about upgrading. I think verity uses different memory now and even if the collections were empty they took 8mb of ram or so. So if you happened to decide to upgrade a machine instead of starting fresh, and that machine had a bunch of junk verity collections in it, it could suck up a lot of RAM.

Thanks to all for suggestions,

So full install CF9.0 would be a better option instead of upgrading from 4.5 to 9.0. (due to some memory and misc problems in the server)

A fresh install is *always* the better option, it's cleaner and it means you haven't knadgered your old install - I've seen too many people try and be clever and end up wishing they'd never tried.

Not only that but hardware has moved on in however many years, and likely a desktop PC can now outpower the machine you're currently running CF4.5 on.

It is *all* in the testing.

Why why why am I participating in this?

[...] the ancient Egyptians did NOT have ovens [...] They had contained fires and slabs.

What is an oven if not a "contained fire"?

Actually, no, don't answer that. I don't care. Or at least not on a forum that's supposed to be about CF. ;-)

ROFLMAO

An oven keeps the heat source separated from the food. A fire, like a campfire, does not. But to have a fire inside a house to cook they had to contain it and make a way for the smoke to escape.

So since this is a ColdFusion forum.

The fire is a userdefined function which may be wrapped in an oven but not necessarily. It passes information such as heat to the dough object which converts such data to cooking and finally to bread. Of course fire may also be a free running thread that was spontaneously called by a random event upon the server. In which case ... .RUN!
