We copied all the files (install folder and project folder) und set the variables. Unfortunately it's not working. We did the following: We copied apache-forrest and workflow-dok (that's our project) to C:\forrest\. We set the Variables to: FORREST_HOME = C:\forrest\apache-forrest\ Path = ...;%FORREST_HOME%\bin We did a restart and the variables are set properly. If we enter 'forrest run' it says that it does not recognize forrest as a command. Does not sound like the variables are set properly. Please open a cmd window and paste the output of echo %FORREST_HOME% echo %PATH% We've also tried to run the forrest.bat directly with 'forrest.bat run'. It starts running but the build fails with an error that it can't find a documentation folder in C:\forrest\apache-forrest\. That's weird because our project-folder is C:\forrest\workflow-dok anyway. Because you need to run the command from the project directory which you can't do without the 'forrest' command working. Gav... What are we doing wrong ?! PS: I can't take a look at the configuration of our old server since it is not located in the same building (or country) and i have no remote- acced.

Hi Patrick, Assuming you have Java installed on the new machine, simply copying everything (Forrest + Your Project) should work just fine. Good luck! Patrick, the configuration should not have any system-specific settings, so it should be okay. I was wondering about the cache. I expect that it too should be portable. If you do see issues then do 'forrest clean' in each of your projects. -David

I've also noticed that it says that JAVA_HOME is not set but it is :-( Here is what those echos are giving me. Echo %JAVA_HOME%: C:\Programme\Java\jdk1.6.0_03\bin Echo %FORREST_HOME%: C:\forrest\apache-forrest Echo %PATH%: C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\WINDOWS\syst em32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0;%FORREST_HOME%\bin Seems right to me... Yeah, looks right. what happens when you: cd %FORREST_HOME/main build .. Also try setting the variables manually in the cmd window directly: set FORREST_HOME=C:\forrest\apache-forrest set PATH=%PATH%;%FORREST_HOME\bin (those should stay set until the cmd windows is closed again) then run forrest -projectHelp Kind regards . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
