Alfresco 3.2r - from Windows to Linux

[lookinup]

I have successfully done a test upgrade on Windows using the tomcat bundles, starting at version 2.0 to 2.1sp7 to 3.2r, pointing to a MS SQL Server database. Now I need to migrate that 3.2r to jboss on linux (suse). I've installed jboss-4.2.3.GA, Open Office, JDK 1.6 and the db driver. I've ported over the extensions folder, global properties, the alf_data files in sync with the DB from the tomcat installation. I deployed the afresco/share war files from alfresco-enterprise-war-3.2.0r.tar.gz.

Which files can be ported over?
Do I have to do a fresh install from an empty DB on jboss?

No it does not have to be an empty DB.   You should just be able to do the normal backup and restore procedure.

One thing to watch when moving from windows to linux are any OS specific configurations such as the configuration of your varaious paths, for example how to start image magic or open office and the location of your content store.
