Hi all,
I've got a colleague who wants to change web hosts for their (very
high-traffic) web site, which is in CF4. However, CF4 seems to be (I've
never used CF) a technology that seems to pre-date the use of flint tools,
as every CF person I talk to just shakes their head when I ask them how
likely it is the code will "just run" on a CFMX 6 server.
Does anyone have any tips/input on this? I've found some reference on the
Macromedia site to a tool that helps the upgrade path from 5 to 6 by
analysing code and suggesting what changes need to be made, etc. Is an
upgrade from 4 -> 5 the best idea, then 5 -> 6? Or are the differences
insignificant enough that we'll be able to improvise as we go?
Any tips, helps, gotchas, estimate of likely effort greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Paul Cowan
