It looks like it contains the server settings. If we want to copy our server
settings from one server to another can just copy this file? Is there a better
way to export the settings. We also may have a 6.1, 4.x or 5.x version of CF
server so what would be the file that would have the server settings?
Here is some of the contents of the file:
<wddxPacket version='1.0'><header/><data><array length='19'><boolean
value='false'/><struct type='coldfusion.server.ConfigMap'><var
name='application_variables'><boolean value='false'/></var><var
name='server_variables'><boolean value='false'/></var><var
name='session_variables'><boolean value='false'/></var><var
name='single_threaded'><boolean value='false'/></var></struct><struct
type='coldfusion.server.ConfigMap'></struct><struct
type='coldfusion.server.ConfigMap'><var

Use car files. It's available as 'Archives and Deployment ' under general
settings in cf 6.1, but only if you are using enterprise.
I think that you can archive and restore between 6 and 7, but I am not sure if
you will be able to go back further than that

There are various files that store all your ColdFusion settings.
neo-runtime.xml is one of them. Here is the technote that explains all of them
and shows the location of where they are stored.

You won't be able to manually move your settings from CF 5 and younger to CF6
or 7 as former are written in C++ and latter are in Java. So the way everything
is stored is completely different. I believe that if your CF5 is installed and
then you install CF7 on the same box, it might recognnize it and try to migrate
the settings. But if it fails, then I do not know of any manual way of doing it.
However, you can migrate your settings between versions 6 and 7, but not
through direct copying of files. You'll have to create cf6settings directory
under your CFusionMX7/lib folder and then move your CFMX6 config files in
there. Then in same CFusionMX7/lib folder find file called adminconfig.xml,
open it up for editing and change two parameters in there. Set
runmigrationwizard and migratecf6 to true, save, close the file and restart CF.
Then run your CF Administrator.
