Migrating Windows settings manually

If you are upgrading from ColdFusion 4.5 or 5, you can optionally migrate settings later, manually.

To migrate settings manually:

  1. Close the ColdFusion MX Administrator, if it is not already closed.
  2. Open the cf_root\lib\adminconfig.xml (server configuration) file in a text editor.
  3. Change the value for runmigrationwizard and runmxmigrationwizard to true, as necessary, so the appropriate lines of the file appear as follows:
    <runmigrationwizard>true</runmigrationwizard>
    

    or

    <runmxmigrationwizard>true</runmxmigrationwizard>
    
  4. Change the value for migratecf5 or migratecf6 to true, as necessary, so the appropriate lines of the file appear as follows:
    <migratecf5>true</migratecf5>
    

    or

    <migratecf6>true</migratecf6>
    
  5. Save the file.
  6. Restart the ColdFusion MX Administrator from the Windows Start menu.

    You are prompted again to migrate your settings.

    Caution: If you migrate your ColdFusion 5 settings later, you might overwrite new ColdFusion MX 7 settings.
