New Server Update 0
With apologies to Opie (see his comment here), XAMPP is installed and working. The non-database elements of the website (that is, everything except the blog) have been copied over to the new server and are working almost fine (almost, because the javascript “updated” statement at the bottom of the boating webpages seems to be choking).
I also got the printer successfully networked to the new server.
There are certain security issues with XAMPP I want to resolve. I don’t make anything public with no passwords, thank you very much.
But, over the next few days weeks months, I’ll be working on moving the database and perfecting the theme.
