This was a thread from a while back n the CFDJ list in which someone asked what needed to be considered when migrating CFMX instance running on JRun from a windows server to a Linux box. I have summarised the findings for posterity:
- Files are case sensitive on unix, hence Application.cfm, OnRequestEnd.cfm and all cfincludes must have the exact case.
- The same applies to <a href=”“> and <img src=”“>, however there is a module for Apache that allows you to fix that potential pitfall.
- No COM support
- Any C++ CFX tags would need to be recompiled for Linux
- Verity Support is limited to certain Linux distros see the release notes
- talking to an MS Access database is trickier.
