I need a trial copy of cold fusion server 4.5 or 5.0!

[dpopiz]

I have this site I wrote in cf 4.5 a few years ago and I really need to be able to view it again briefly, just so I can take screenshots of it and whatever.

I installed the trial of cf mx 6.1, but it's not working right. it takes several minutes to load each page and none of the images show up. I'm pretty sure cf mx has trouble with older code, right?


I know my code works with 4.5, and I'm pretty sure it works with 5.0
but I can't find a download of the trials for those anywhere, since they're so out of date.
I even tried looking on kazaa (hey, I'm looking for a trial!), but it doesn't turn up anything either

MX is junk at best, fits in quite well with the rest of CF.

yeah....cf is pretty crappy. but give me a break. I wrote this entire HUGE site in 7/8th grade; I didn't know there was anything better
btw, I would convert it all to php by hand, but believe me, this site is enormous - like 3-400 lines of cf on some pages, and it's very efficient code that I've rewritten again and again

"Junk at best"? Disagree but go ahead.

I wasn't trying to give you crap or anything. Just an "I hate CFMX" bump.

GL.

Ever have to install it and keep it running on an enterprise system?

We were having major problems with permissions in my old companies hybrid Novell/Active Directory setup. I like the language, easy to use with lots of built-in functionality. The included Verity is a big plus. But Macromedia products are buggy as hell in my opinion. A had a year of constant bugs with Fireworks, Dreamweaver, Contribute and ColdFusion.

I can't comment on the language, but the installation of CFMX for Unix was a nightmare. Took me a couple days to find a workable solution. I'm just glad I wrote down the instructions.

CFMX = JRun

the previous versions were alright though.

warning!!! thread straying off topic!
sorry, but this is pretty urgent. I still can't find it anywhere
