Using the Configuration and Settings Wizard
If you have ColdFusion 5 installed on the same computer as ColdFusion MX, the Configuration
and Settings Migration Wizard prompts you to migrate settings to the ColdFusion MX
installation. For Windows, the wizard typically runs immediately after you finish the installation;
for UNIX, the wizard runs the first time that you open the ColdFusion MX Administrator.
If you choose not to migrate settings, you can rerun the wizard at a later time by performing the
following steps:
Close the ColdFusion MX Administrator, if it is not already closed.
1.
Open cf_root/lib/adminconfig.xml in a text editor, change
2.
save the file.
Restart the ColdFusion MX Administrator.
3.
You are prompted again to migrate your settings.
Caution: If you migrate your ColdFusion 5 settings later, you might overwrite new ColdFusion MX
settings.
