Coldfusion MX migration from windows to lunix

[xinfg2133]

Hello, Any one did migration of Coldofusion MX from windows to Linux. What are
the requirements. Is anybody know online tutorials so I can read it. How
diffcult it is to migrate from windows to linux and what changes i need to
make. I know little bit about linux and which web server i have to use.
Thanks, TOM

Linux is case-sensitive, therefore:

1. "Application.cfm" not "application.cfm" and "OnRequestEnd.cfm" not
"onrequestend.cfm"

2. Custom tag files must be all lowercase, even though you can call them as
mixed case: i.e. statelist.cfm can be called as <cf_StateList>

3. Database and database talbe names are tied to the file system and are
therefore case-sensitive. database column names are not.

4. SQL aliases are case-sensitive too:

SELECT a.someID, a.someLabel
FROM someTable A

throws an error since the alias "a" is not defined.

5. Permissions are law. If you're going to upload files to a folder, that
folder needs to be owned by the Cold Fusion Server user (usually "nobody").

I think the only other thing you really have to deal with are links to files
that don't match the case of the filename on the system.

These 2 depend on the database. Neither of these apply to PostgreSQL.
