Is there anyone in the group that would be interested in coming to

I've got a couple of servers I plan to upgrade over the next few months, but
I haven't even had time to install a dev copy of CF9 yet...

I'd always recommend buying from a re-seller like Andy, as it gives you
someone to shout at! :)
However, if you do buy CF (or any other software) direct from Adobe, you can

Re: [SCFUG] Re: CF9

Awesome ... and remember that with CF9 you no longer need to purchase
licenses for dev/test/staging/qa

Your production license covers you for all that.

Oh and for folks using Enterprise, remember that CF9 is MUCH cheaper

your pocket.

Re: [SCFUG] Re: CF9

Remember that there is NO direct upgrade form path from 6.1 to 9 - you
will need to do a brand new install.

If you've kept your maintenance active then you should have CF7/8
licenses kicking about so you could upgrade from 6.1 to 7/8 and then
upgrade to 9.

(I don't encourage upgrades though, just to confuse you!).

Not there yet, but soon. We had hoped to upgrade this year, but looking more like Jan/Feb. Quite nice skipping straight from 6.1 to 9.

I think we've got maintenance which gives us copies. Will find out.

Has anyone upgraded to CF9 yet?
If so, did you buy from Adobe.com, an online store like Amazon,
through a reseller like Fuzzy Orange, or did you have maintenance?
Does everyone know you can get maintenance with ColdFusion?
Maintenance comes in two forms:
2 year Maintenance
Platinum support (annual)
Both entitle you to free upgrades during the maintenance period.

Hi Shaun,

You might want to try re-writing the first query using GROUP BY to get the

and some in a HAVING statement.
Been a while since I've used HAVING, so I'm not 100% sure this will work

Used Hostek / Hostfolio with a couple of sites.
Pretty reliable and great turnaround on support but their shared hosting
servers can get a bit heavy at times. I guess $40 a year is attractive
to a lot of people but all good as long as you don't run any heavy

RE: [SCFUG] Re: CF Hosting

2009-10-09T11:20:43Z

Never been down that route, and its not actually for me. I need something that a non-techie can set up/maintain if I'm not about.

Its to replace an existing hosting as the company currently being used is dropping CF, cfmxhosting.co.uk (Alan's suggestion) could be useful as I know that my mate has PHP hosting as well and it might be more cost effective to pull them together into a single reseller account.

Re: [SCFUG] CF Hosting

2009-10-09T11:06:37Z

I haven't used shared hosting for several years now. Dedicated, VPS and
cloud hosting are all relatively cheap and give you full control over the
(virtual) box.
Only downside is that you need a CF license. However Railo comes free, so is
another option.

Oh and you get to use the full extJS 3 library without having to purchase
licenses, which run from $329 to $16,500. Obviously there is only update
support via ColdFusion updates, but still.. more money you're saving by
purchasing a £1000 standard license or a £4200 enterprise license.
