Online ColdFusion Meetup (coldfusionmeetup.com) for Apr 29, 2021

TOPIC DESCRIPTION: (provided by the speaker):

If you're considering moving to CF2021, there are some things to consider before or as you may install it. First, there’s a new “zip” install option, in addition to the traditional full installer. What’s that about? why should you use it? what are some challenges, and why might you not want to? We'll cover that.

Second, even with the full installer there are new options and choices, and perhaps it’s been a while since you have installed even other CF versions. We will cover some of the key choices presented.

We'll also discuss aspects of migrating CF admin settings from an old version to a new, and touch briefly on the pros and cons of installing a new CF version alongside an old one.

There are certainly other challenges with installing ColdFusion, and we will also open the floor for questions on that and cover whatever else we can in the hour allotted.

PS For the eagle-eyes in the group, it is not a mistake that this is listed as session #288, though the previous was listed as #286. I was doing some review in anticipation of our 300th episode, and I found two sessions that had been given the same number by mistake some years ago (#238, in 2013 and 2014).
