Hi guys, long time no speak.

Hardly doing any CF work these days, but still looking after a couple of
long time customers on CF 7.

I know it's old (ok, ancient), but it does what I need it to do. I've
hardly touched the CF 7 install in years.

Today I went to check a scheduled tasks and the entire /scheduler directory
is awol. I suspect because I hid it from hackers so well that I can't find
it!

Is it possible to run a CF7 reinstall to recover this directory without
overwriting my existing installation and configuration?

Thanks,
Jenny

No, I don't think so, but you could export your existing configuration
first then reinstall and import the configuration.

Thanks, Dave. Could I install on another server and just copy the directory
over?

Without testing it myself I can't say for sure, but I think it
probably would work just fine.

I would make a copy of the entire directory, then uninstall and install.

Then copy and overwrite the configuration files. Pretty sure with 7, you
will want the lib/neo-*.xml files.

That should get you most of the way there.

You could also leave the current install as is. Install a fresh copy to a
new directory. Copy the configuration files, then update the Web server
connectors to the new instance/install.

That may be preferred as it would be easier to roll back to the prior
version to at least keep things working.

Is there not a string you could search for... either as a filename or???

Just curious, but couldn't you install it on a different computer (even a
laptop) and just copy the directly you need over without all the
complications?
