Lucee Upgrade Path Question

dev support
1

I’m currently testing with Lucee 7.0.0.395, and everything has been running smoothly. We’d like to bring one of our servers into production, but we need to upgrade it from 6.2.0.321 to 7.0.0.395 first.

Our current 6.2 setup is running on Windows Server 2019 with Apache Tomcat 10.1.36 and Java 21.0.6 (Eclipse Adoptium) 64-bit.

Is there a simpler upgrade path available, or is a full uninstall of 6.2.0.321 followed by a fresh install of 7.0.0.395 still the recommended approach? I’d really like to avoid having to redo all the configurations and reimport all of the datasources if possible.

Basically all you need to do is copy across lucee-server\context\.CFConfig.json into the new instance

The Lucee installer does allow you to install side by side

I have 6 and 7 running locally on different ports myself

What I’d recommend is running up 7, then doing a diff using something like WinMerge between your old and newly deployed .CFConfig.json files, and simply surgically pick the settings you want to copy over
