This Blog Now Runs ColdFusion 8

Yeah, just finished upgrading my site to ColdFusion 8. The upgrade did not go as smooth as I thought it would. First, my install failed... something about executing an ANT script to delete some file... It had nothing to do with Windows DEP, since I had it disabled... anyways, I reverted my VM to the previous snapshot (oh yes, my site runs on a VMWare ESX Server)... and I tried again ... the only difference is that this time I stopped my CFMX7 services first; well, the only one that was running was Macromedia CFUsion Application Server, since I'm running Multi-server. Well, this time the install worked flawlessly ... or not. It didn't! it wipped all my cfusion admin settings... I had to add all my datasources and mappings again ... what a pain ... luckily I didn't have too many.

Ok, so now the install is not, but my site blows up ... I haven't updated my blogCFC version in a while, but the first thing that blew up was lyla captcha... the way it was invoking XMLSearch was not supported anymore ... I downloaded the latest version and that fixed it... next, blogCFC blows up ... the error was "Expected static method coldfusion.runtime.CfJspPage._arrayGetAt" ... I downloaded the latest version of blogCFC and started patching code... I didn't wan to overwrite my instance since I made tons of chances... though I will probably this week .... so I overwrote the tags for table and column manager and scope cache... now the blog runs fine.

If anyone gets and error please let me know ... I assume I will get an email, but who knows :)
