I just did an upgrade of a server running ColdFusion 7 enterprise running on Red Hat Linux. The upgrade went great, no issues or problems at all. After it was done I tried to load the administrator to migrate the setting from CF7 to 8. In the browser I received this cryptic error message:

My first thought was, what the hell does that mean. Then thought, lets restart CF and see if that clears it up. So, I go and restart CF and it reports that CF is not running then starts CF. I then try and load the administrator and it now works.

I did some checking and the install docs tell you to start cf after the install completes then load the administrator. However, the installer states the install is complete. Load the administrator to complete the install.

So, I guess the moral of the story is to A: make sure you read the docs. B: Make sure that the info in the installer and the docs match. C: Error messages should be helpful and not add to the already apparent issue.

Till next time...
