Determining Current Server Profile

[Dordrecht]

Hi all. I've been asked by a client to upgrade a production server from CF2021 to CF2023. While researching the existing server configuration, specifically what "server profile" is being used for CF2021, I was able to find in the original installation log that "Development Profile" was chosen. I'm hesitant to choose "Production" as the server profile when I do the CF2023 upgrade, as I'm not sure what unexpected effects this may have on the application.

Regarding this, does the choice of "Server Profile" during installation only serve to appropriately pre-configure various CF Admin settings? If so, the CF Admin settings made in the years after initial CF2021 installation, which will be copied to the CF2023 installation, should suffice even if I choose "Development" as the server profile during CF2023 installation. If it affects more than Cf admin settings, I'd like to know necessary details about it.

Thanks!

@Dordrecht If you have the older version configured as Developer, you can also configure it for CF2023.

For the Production profile, there would be a few changes that would be restricted to the production profile.

The settings imported from the older version would be identical for the new version as well. Please refer to the below article fo the changes:
