Hello Rakesh,

Simply copying the webapp is not enough since it uses to $omar.home for 
some configuration files / keystores. You could overcome that by copying 
the $omar.home to the new machine.

Besides, the database configuration files in the webapp were setting a 
$omar.home absolute path based on the user that compiled. You should not 
have that problem anymore after you update from cvs (see my other mail 
to this list, from 30-jan-05).

Finally, text files (especially property files) edited in windows and 
copied to linux might have some CR/LF problems. For a while I have not 
tried what you want to do (win -> linux). MAybe somebody else in this 
list might help.

Regards,
Diego
