CFConfig export from Lucee 5 and import into Lucee 6

Communities CommandBox CLI

Hi all,
What I want to do is this:

  1. Use CFConfig to export my config (including scheduled tasks) from the server and web contexts on an existing Lucee 5 install.
  2. Re-import that same config (including scheduled tasks, of which there are many) into a new Lucee 6 install.

Is there any way to do this? I’ve tried exporting my configs which gives me the two export folders, but I can’t quite figure out how to import it into the single context of Lucee 6.

If anyone can give me a hand getting started on the import, that would be fab :slight_smile:

Thanks!

Mike Horne

I haven’t done much testing with Lucee 6, and CFConfig only works on first start, but I assume you can just merge the json files or import them both one after another.

Hmmm. Okay. Got the impression it had changed config files between XML and JSON. Might just be easier to recreate them. Hey ho. :slight_smile:
Thanks for replying.

It has, but it will still read the xml files on first start

Ah! Gotcha. Thank you!
