migrating from CF5 to CF9

[Kristin Gitler]

Hi All,

 

I have a client that is migrating a site from CF5 to CF9.  They have asked for an estimate for code fixes due to the CF version changes.  I have searched around, but don’t see much related specifically to this version jump.  I know once they have everything installed, I can run the code analyzer, but is there any way to tell what kinds of issues I might run into before hand?

 

The site is largely “static”, using CF for things like cfincludes for common navigation, etc., it uses Application.cfm, not cfc,  and has a few functions that interact with a database that are pretty basic – news releases, some registration forms, a little bit of content management with file uploads… (images & pdfs).  Really old stuff…

 

Any idea what kinds of issues I’ll run into with the migration?

 

Thanks,

 

Kristin

I’d just take a box, load it with the developer license, load the client tree and try it. Or at least try the code analyzer there and see what it says.

 

I do recall a change or two in the application.cfm needed either between 5 and 6 or it was 6 and 7. But they became obvious when testing and easy to fix.

Thanks, I guess I’ll go with that and just give a rough estimate on what changes might be needed, and then revise it based on the code analyzer results.

 

Thanks!
