| HI All,
Is it possible to run ASP & ASP.NET templates side by side with MCMS 2002?
Regards

| Yep.
Of course, the Web Author Console will be different between them, but you
can do it.

| Hi,
This may sound stupid (forgive me I haven't used MCMS 2001 before);
But can I just run the updates & service packs to easily (no developer
interaction) to upgrade from MCMS 2001 to MCMS 2002 SP1a ?
Regards

| Hi Angus,
- install CMS 2002, run the DCA and CMS 2001 will be migrated to CMS 2002
- install CMS 2002 SP1a and you are done.
But better would be to setup a new server, point to a copy of the database
and do the upgrade here to allow testing of your CMS 2002 site while still
serving from your CMS 2001 site until you are finished with testing.
Cheers,
Stefan.

| Hey Angus,
Yeah, you can upgrade to CMS2002 and still use the ASP templates, but you
should do it using an alternate server as Stefan suggests so you can test,
test, test.
Most everything should work fine in MCMS 2002 using ASP without any
re-coding, but there are some things that might need to be modified in your
ASP. For example, we were using mapped host headers and there was a slight
change to the way MCMS handled Searches.GetByPath with mapped host headers.
We upgraded one of our client's MCMS2001 sites to MCMS2002 almost two years
ago, and have been running it as ASP until now. We are just about to
replace the entire ASP site with ASP.NET (we're in testing now!). But other
than the minor code change mentioned above, nothing else had to be changed.
Oh, one word of caution: if you have customized the site using the
/NR/System/Customizable/ folder, make a backup of that folder before you
upgrade (and also before you add MCMS service packs). I find that each time
we have upgraded MCMS (to the new version or SP1), the Customizable folder
is overwritten. It doesn't save your customized code.
So what you need to do is make a backup of that folder and its subfolders,
upgrade, then copy your code into the new Customizable files. Don't
overwrite their new files; the site won't work. There are some code changes
in the files, so you need to re-integrate your cusomizations.
Please let us know if you run into any trouble! Chances are that we have
encountered the issue before. :-)

| Hi Joel & Stefan,
Thanks for all the info.
The reason I am asking is a client currently has a MCMS 2001 single server
deployment with 6000 subscribers.
They are looking at taking it up to about 41,000 subscribers.
So we are looking at a few different options to handle the new capacity.
My plan is:
- upgrade to MCMS 2002 Enterprise Edition
- setup a web-farm so we can keep on adding load balance servers as the
service becomes more popular.
I suppose there is the other option of keeping it as MCMS 2001 and just
adding another load balanced server... but I'm leaning towards MCMS 2002 so
as we extend it we can add ASP.NET templates (Who wants to code ASP
anymore!)
Am I heading down the correct path here?
Regards
