TOPIC DESCRIPTION: (provided by the speaker)

If you'll be installing CF2023, there are some things to consider before or as you do. First, be aware that besides the traditional full installer there's the new "zip" install option (added in CF2021). What's that about, why might you want to use it--or not?

Then there are are some options and choices during installation--some new also with CF2021. Perhaps it's been a while since you've installed even previous CF versions. We'll cover some of the key options to consider (including license activation, package/module management, and more) as well as post-install steps including updating CF and the JVM, and migrating in CF Admin settings (including using the new CLI/json admin config tool, cfsetup).

In this session, veteran CF troubleshooter Charlie Arehart will share his experience helping folks install CF thousands of times, including several dozen installs already of CF2023. We'll conclude with discussion of alternatives to installing CF (some which you may know about, some maybe not). We'll also open the floor to questions about other topics we might discuss in the time remaining.
