Thank you... this is exactly the type of information we will need.

File names are case sensitive, so all your cfinclude and cfmodule calls will
have to be uniformly cased. Afaik the CF server will account for the path
delimiter being either / or \ so having \ where unix only supports / as a
path delimiter shouldn't cause any problems that I know of.

Make sure you're not using any windows scripting host objects called through
<cfobject>

I don't think <cfregistry> works on *nix.

I remember working on an application on Solaris (don't remember what version
of CF Server now) wherein I wasn't able to use NumberFormat() because the
function simply didn't work -- at all in any way. NumberFormat(1,"0") for
instance, would likely produce something like 371.00908 -- just couldn't use
it. So test the NumberFormat() function on your server so you know if it
works or not.

That's all I have -- I'm not a *nix guru by any means.
