We have CF9 and want to move to CF 2016, but on a new server. I have been trying to digest the CF2016-Migration-Guide. I am not real familiar with CF, but I am pretty familiar with Windows Server, IIS, etc...
The migration guide is catered for someone doing an in-place upgrade and there appears to be some sizable gaps on steps if you are moving to a new server.
I have successfully:
- Installed CF 2016 on the new server
- Copied the neo*.xml files from the old server and allow them to migrate
- Copied the \Inetpub\wwwroot files and folders from the old server to the new
- Copied the database folder that the datasources point to from the old to the new
What I am missing:
- Do you I need to recreate the ColdFusion Collections or is there a way to migrate them? (note: recreating wouldn't be horrible, but I am not sure what folder was specified on the old server when you tell the collection to index)
- I am not sure if I a missing anything else. If I hit my website on the new server, it appears to be missing some style sheets; the header and footer load; and I get a 404 error in the middle of the page.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
