John, Did you read the doc here that explains how to do this:
http://www.sourcejammer.org/importExportArchive.html I think the step you missed was adding an archive with the same name as the archive you want to copy to your new server. This is a goofy process, but if you do this, it will work. Also, not mentioned in the doc, is the fact that you have to re-create all of your users on the new server. Or you could copy the users.xml from your old server into place on your new server. Good luck. --Rob --- Albert Moliner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Oh, yes, I was wrongly assuming that you were copying all the server files, > including the users.xml. > > The files must be writable by the user that runs tomcat (or the app. server > you > use).
