Hi Andrew Just an Idea from a user who doesn't know his URL from his DNS.... I had (Through my IT guy) Dieter put Sql-Ledger on a Red Hat Fedora Operating system (Dieters Choice not mine) That Fedora box I then run using VMware as a virtual machine and as my servers have died over the years, I simply restore the Virtual machine and then the backups of the databases on the new server and keep going
So far I have run this way on Suse, Ubuntu, Windows (Temporarily on a desktop machine while server being repaired... ) and currently on a Mac which has been so far the easiest to use from a non technical user point of view with VMware Fusion. All with no problems or loss of Templates etc Maybe I've just got a brilliant IT Guy but that Fedora box keeps chugging away and if I lose my server or it gets stolen it takes a phone call to my IT guy who restores the Fedora box on his server and keeps me going until I can get a new server down. Works very well for me.
