migration

[Leftbower]

I have multple development workstations (home/office, laptop, work PC, etc.) Is there an easy way to transfer/migrate the CF Admin settings from one CF instance to the next, rather than entering all of the settings manually?

In the absence of a better reply, try this:

1. 
   
2. Make sure all CF copies are the same version and the same edition (IE do not mix standard with developer or enterprise -- developer to enterprise may be ok).
   
3. Stop CF and any JRun or Java services.
   
4. Copy all of the XML files from source to clone.
   
5. Say a little prayer or sacrifice some chickens.
   
6. Restart and hope for the best.
   

For Enterprise editions, dive through the java deployment docs. There may be some useful tips there.

Will free-range chickens do?

Wow! You'd think there's be an easier, less-worriesome migration path for something that I would think would be a common request? Sounds like ripe territory for a 3rd party, perhpas shareware, solution!

Thanks for the input!
