Migration problems

Data sources not recognized

Problem: When you migrate from a previous version of ColdFusion to ColdFusion MX 7, your application does not recognize data sources.

Solution: Redefine the data sources.

CFCs not recognized in Dreamweaver

Problem: When you migrate from a previous version of ColdFusion to ColdFusion MX 7, the CFCs do not appear in the Components panel of Dreamweaver.

Solution: Check the mappings and update them as necessary.

Installation fails

Problem: On UNIX and Linux systems, when you try to install ColdFusion MX 7 on systems where the /tmp partition is mounted noexec, the installation fails.

Solution: This is because the install attempts to use the /tmp directory for unpacking and running the installer runtime. To avoid this issue, set the IATEMPDIR environment variable to a directory on the system that has execute permissions before running the installer.

Installation fails

Problem: When you try to install ColdFusion MX 7, the installation fails and generate the error:

"java.lang.OutOfMemoryError Invocation of this Java Application has caused an InvocationTargetException. This application will now exit. (LAX)" 

Solution: You must clean up the directory to which the installer is trying to extract the JRE, for example, /home/tmp.
