Changing from .war version to windows installer version

Subsonic suddenly stopped working one day about a week ago. I check the tomcat control panel and it says subsonic has stopped and throws a very generic cant start the app error at me when I try to start it. I check the tomcat logs but I can't make any sense of them. So I'm having issues with tomcat and/or subsonic so I spend a week trying to get it working with no solution. I've tried re-installing different versions of the JRE, tomcat, and subsonic and I just can't get it to work. I decided to see if the stand-alone windows installer will work and it does. Doesn't matter to me how this runs so I was just going to switch over and use that version. The problem is I want to retain all the settings I had. I've tried both installing the windows installer version over the top of my existing .war install and copying my old install over a new install and either way makes subsonic not work. I was wondering if there's an easy way to transfer my settings from the .war version to the windows installer version without too much work.
