Migrating from ColdFusion MX (6, I think) to ColdFusion 7 - coldfusion

I'm thinking of migrating my sites from ColdFusion MX to ColdFusion 7. Are there any issues I should be aware of? I heard that ColdFusion is backwards compatible.

Use the ColdFusion MX7's Code Compatibility Analyzer on your apps.
See also "ColdFusion MX7 Documentation".

SiteCore CMS - Webpage Becomes Unresponsive at every click

I am a new user of SiteCore platform and facing "Page Unresponsive" Issue - extremely frequently - on SiteCore CMS. This happens on Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Mozilla Firefox. This happens at every 30-40 seconds.
Could anyone please share insights on what might have gone wrong and what steps to take to fix this issue?
Hi the bad performance could be generated by different problems. I would recommend you check your console for errors or monitor Sitecore ajax calls that result in errors or are very slow/unresponsive.
chrome web developer tool
Also you can check Sitecore logs for errors. These are located in [data-folder]/logs in log.[date].txt file
You can also check if you met the requirements for installing Sitecore 8:
IIS 8.5 or IIS 8.0
.Net framework 4.5 and above,
Miminum MS Sql server 2008 R2 SP1 or above editions like SQL server 2012, SQL server 2014
MongoDB Database 2.6x if you have Analytics enabled

ColdFusion Tag is not supported

I am new to ColdFusion and downloaded the latest version of Railo which is compatible with ColdFusion 10.
I want to use the CFGrid and CFWebsocket tags which are included in Adobe's ColdFusion 10`, as you can see in the documentation.
But when I start my application, an error says that these tags are not supported.
Railo 4.2 is roughly compatible with CF10, but there are some things it doesn't support, among them cfgrid and cfwebsocket.

Coldfusion11 and Coldfusion8 on same windows server

I need to install cf11 on the same windows 2008 server as an existing cf8 install.
I realise it would be better to have 2 servers but in this case thats not an option open to us so I need specific help with the 2 installs.
The current CF8 is using IIS7.
I have done a bit of spade work and I believe the best way to do this cleanly would be to install a 2nd web server, e.g apache on windows and then configure it with CF11.
I had hoped that I could actually install CF11 and just configure specific iis sites with it, hoping this would leave the cf8 configured sites intact.
Any help would be appreciated.
Yes, you can run multiple sites under IIS on the same server, with different versions of ColdFusion. Every connector you create, should be with individual sites and not with "ALL" websites. Different versions of ColdFusion connected with different sites under the same IIS on the same server will not conflict with each other.

Does IE 11 support applications developed in Silverlight 5?

We have developed a web application with using Silverlight 5. We are facing problems in IE 11. The application is not even loading in IE 11. But it is working fine in IE 10 and other browsers like Chrome and Mozilla.
When we debug, the "Silverlight.__startup();" function itself is not called when we focused the silverlight object. Could you please clarify for us whether will IE 11 support Silverlight applications or not. If yes, could you please provide some tips / suggestions to load the SL application in IE 11. If you can able to provide a sample app, that will be great for me.
Also, we are using jquery 1.4.1 version. Will IE 11 support this version or not. If not, which version of jquery we have to use in IE 11?
You should upgrade to the latest version of jQuery.
In principle, Desktop IE11 will support Silverlight in the Trusted Sites and Intranet zones.
The Immersive version of IE (Win8/Win8.1 app environment) doesn't support add-ons.
Silverlight is a legacy add-on which is not compatible with Enhanced Protected Mode, which is now on-by-default in the Internet Zone.
I just install IE11 replacing IE10 on Windows 7, and all my application Under Silverlight work fine.
What I have done :
option Internet Intranet : allow initialize activeX
Parameter compatibility : set to Trust my Intranet Server.
Surprise : I can look demo of Devexpress.com on Silverlight, without any change on security on Internet

CF upon request:

hth,
john.
UPDATE 19/01/2012 - The above link is still active!
If you have good hosting deal and want cheap (or free) CFML engine, why wouldn't you try the Railo?
If you want a free CFML engine, then Railo is definitely the way to go! I've had it running on my server for about a year now and love it!
Official Coldfusion 6 is no longer downloadable from Adobe and support is discontinued.

There is no free edition of Coldfusion which can be used for business. Coldfusion 9 has a free educational version for universities as well as a developer's edition which can be used for up to two (2) ip addresses.
