Upgrading ColdBox
Updating a ColdBox install to a new version is as simple as pie. You only need to make a backup of the original coldbox directory (Optional) and then just place the new expanded archive in the original location as specified by the Installation Guide. Once you replaced the files, please make sure to read the appropriate compatibility guides and release notes. Some releases might need for you to update your bootstrap files:
- Application.cfc
- index.cfm
- coldboxproxy.cfc
So please make sure you replace those files if the release says so.
Important: If an upgrade is done, make sure you reinitialize your applications since they still have old code in memory. CF server restart is recommended.
You can do this by invoking the fwreinit=true URL actions or just removing the controller from application scope and recreating it. It is recommend that you bounce your CF server, so you know that you will start fresh.
