I just wanted to write a response to this when I saw Matt's answer. Thank you Matt.

Yes, just grab http://www.kabunto.org or http://www.razuna.com and unzip the Standalone download. Start the server up and done. I think a application provider can do a lot to make the deployment of applications that easy.

In case you don't know, but Razuna integrates a CMS as well. Might suite your needs.

Once you set this up once if you used something like H2 as your database, it could be a one-click distribution. I don't think anyone's done it yet but it certainly wouldn't be a lot of work.

That's one of the great things about OpenBD--someone can put the pieces together once and, depending on the licenses of the various parts involved, distribute it freely.

Nitai has just released a forum application that's "drop and go":
http://www.kabunto.org/

And his digital asset management application is very similar in deployment:
http://www.razuna.com/

These serve as a great example of what can be done as far as one- click deployments go.

I'll still try to get it to work (and again thanks for your response)
but a 'standalone' installation should include the db server.



Well, this is certainly one way to look at things but again, all it takes is someone to do the little bit of work involved once and redistribute it. I just don't think anyone's done this with FarCry yet. And remember that even being able to do this with CFML applications is new to the CFML world since prior to OpenBD it wasn't possible to do this because of license restrictions associated with the CFML engine itself.
