Yes, it would be much easier to use the DSL…
As far as the details of how to get it up and running, you just need to download the DSL here; run it in a new directory to allow it to create a new server, then copy the database and server settings files from your current server into the new server. @Toolguy is very helpful, if you have any difficulty, just post your questions here.
