Moving from ColdFusion 8 to ColdFusion 10 - Migration Fails
- by XenoFoxx
After having made several attempts to migrate from a ColdFusion 8 Standard server to a ColdFusion 10 Standard server, it feels like I am "almost" there.
I'm using the 64 bit installer from Adobe's website.
I'm using a Windows Server 2008 (64 bit) server with IIS 7.0.
The installation itself goes smooth and the services start and are running.
But at the end of the installation it says "ColdFusion Installed, but with errors" and it generates a log file.
The log file reads:
Migration Error: : Check that "C:\ColdFusion8" is a valid directory and is an installation of either ColdFusion MX 6 or ColdFusionMX 7
and further down says:
Status: WARNING
Additional Notes: WARNING - Could not migrate settings from previous version of ColdFusion
Custom Action:
com.macromedia.ia.action.MigrateColdFusionAction
Status: ERROR
Additional Notes: ERROR - class com.macromedia.ia.action.MigrateColdFusionAction NonfatalInstallException null
The applicationHost.config file has new XML referencing the ColdFusion 10 directory, but IIS is still using ColdFusion 8. I'm also going to guess that the settings in the CF Administrator have not been migrated based on the message in the log above.
I've followed the instructions on Adobe's site, including ensuring that ASP.NET, CGI, ISAPI Extensions, and ISAPI Filters are all enabled. I've also enabled IIS 6 Metabase Compatibility even though I don't think it's needed.
Has anyone else had similar issues with ColdFusion 10 and IIS 7.
Currently I have uninstalled CF 10 and reverted back to
