1. I'm not sure if it's installed on the machine I'm transferring to or not. It's a webhost, so is there a way to know? Is it that simple? Am I just... an idiot and didn't realize it needs to be installed on both ends? 2. I tried what you suggested and this is what I got (sparing you seemingly unneeded info).
