Thanks, Gerald. I'll take a look at it. -----Original Message----- From: Gerald Guido [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, October 07, 2009 8:44 AM To: cf-talk Subject: Re: CF 9 and CF Builder Beta 2 released
Dave, You should take a look @ OBD and/or Railo. I know that such a migration is easier said than done on a live server and often fraught with peril. But then again going from V.5 to 6 required a fairly significant amount of code changes. But, if you don't want to learn PHP, there *are* viable free alternatives to Adobe CF. Especially if you can live with out running the the latest and greatest Adobe version. I have been very pleased with Railo and have migrated several apps to Railo and it was relatively painless. I am not sure about sandboxing apps and security concerns in a shared hosting environment (that has not come up yet) but alurium (http://alurium.com/) has been offering Railo in a shared hosting environment so it can be done.
