How do I change a regular installation to a service installation?

Question

I unintentionally installed Confluence as a normal application when I intended to install it as a service.  A decent amount of content has already been added to the instance.  If I uninstall it, can I reinstall and point to the existing database?  If not, what is the best way to accomplish this task?

The spaces and content are in the database but they do not show up in the site.  Am I missing something minor?

I pointed Confluence to the old database and I do not see my old Spaces.  :(
