It took a little longer than I thought it would
Looks like we're live.
The whole process made me feel like a newbie with MS-DOS 3.0 again. I'd been playing with source code and crap for a month or more and forgot all about the OPERATING SYSTEM.
I am a Microsoft baby. I've dealt with Unix-like systems before but never in detail. And it's all similar enough to make you feel comfortable but different enough to let you screw up without having a clue as to what happened. And the frustrating thing for me is, I KNOW what can be done but didn't have tome to work out how. And the goddamn .htaccess file Drupal supplied played hob with my access to other stuff, and I'm editing online again (I've REALLY gotten used to my blogging client with spell checking etc.).
And I took the time to set up the group site too. I should be able to run both sites off the same source tree, but I haven't worked out the glitches in that yet. Plus the two sites will have somewhat different purposes and therefore functionality, so it's likely no loss.
The upshot it, end user folks will likely prefer this setup. Me, I got some adjustments to make.
