Back Up and Running

BIL stopped by last night, and he was able to fix the database issues I've been having. One fix was such an obvious fix I couldn't believe I had missed it - set tcpip_socket to true. This apparently lets you connect to the database at an ip address. Doh.

So now I've got to load the database schema, fill in some of the tables before firing up my knitting library website to proceed with data entry. One thing I'm going to be diligent from now on is to back up the database, in case my setup goes south again. I'll not be working next Monday as it is a holiday, so this weekend will be a perfect one for me to get started with recording my stash.
