Problems migrating CFMX7 ---> CF8

[fede_ctfd]

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.
