Is it easy to move Alfresco from Windows to Linux?

[nullman]

Hi,

For our evaluation purposes it is easier to use the "single click" install for Windows. However, if we stay with Alfresco we would eventually move to Linux. Is it relatively painless to move from the Windows version to the Linux version once we've setup templates/spaces/workflow, etc? Has anyone does this? If so, what was involved? When we switch to the Linux version we would use our existing MS SQL Server installation instead of MySQL.

Thanks in advance for your help.

In theory this should work ok. We haven't tried it I admit The MySQL DB can simply be exported and imported from Windows to Linux, and the alf_data directory copied over to the new machine.

Thanks,

Kevin
