Reinstalling CF Advice

Could anyone tell me what I need to backup when reinstalling coldfusion, is it straight forward?

I'm going to try reinstalling to see if it gets Verity working.

I've made copies of all my .cfm files. SQL server is hosted on the same server, will this be affected at all?

Thanks in advance

    Thanks for your reply.

    Could you please tell me how I go about backing up my datasources? Do I do that in SQL server?

    Also, what is the inportance of the .jar/ .class files?

    Do I just uninstall CF using the add/ remove programs, then reinstall it?

    Thanks again

    Hi Matthisco,

    i) Just backup your "neo-query.xml" file which is located under "your_cf_installation_directory\lib" directory, and restore it later.

    ii) As for the .jar, and .class files - Only if you've deployed anything with those extentions in the lib directory, then backup it otherwise just ignore it.

    iii) Yeah.. You can just uninstall your CF through add/remove programs as you said....

    1) Backup your data sources.
    2) Backup your "*.jar", ".class" files if you have any (under the lib directory.)
