Transfer Config from Webserver to VM? PHP/MySQL all that jazz.

[gord]

Hiyo all,

We have a web server and I would like to take the configuration from it to a VM as a sort of test environment.

Is there an easy way that I can basically duplicate the web server? Or am I looking at just reinstalling all of the components on the VM?

Any help is much appreciated.

You could create a backup image using whichever third party you prefer, and then "restore" that image to a VM.

Apache or IIS? With Apache you can probably just copy the conf/htdocs folders. With IIS you can backup/restore its configuration (different depending on which version you use).

IIS 6, sorry, forgot to mention.
