Well, that took significantly longer than I'd hoped, but we've finally moved servers. Ironically, the thing that I thought would take longest - copying the data - was the shortest and simplest part of the operation; getting the machine working in VMWare was, by comparison, a fucking nightmare. Don and I spent a good couple of hours trying to figure out why networking wasn't working... until I swapped the WAN and LAN virtual network adapters around and everything started working. Doh.

At least it's up and running now, and rather nicely it seems too!

Seriously though, shit like that always happens in live environments unless you have a test environment which matches the live system identically

Yeah. It would be good if we could run our host environments as virtual machines so that we could ensure identical setups...
