class=426040712-31102007><FONT face="Century Gothic" size=2>I will be using
Ubuntu set up a test server (6.0.6 LAMP LTS) although the live

questions:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=426040712-31102007><FONT face="Century Gothic" size=2>I will
need to host the system on a server outside my LAN. I'd like it to be
on the same server that hosts our web site. I doubt that our service provider
will give me root access to their web server though. Is it strictly
necessary?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=426040712-31102007><FONT face="Century Gothic" size=2>Also, it
should be fine if I manage the database conversion using the test setup and then
move it over to the Debian system shouldn't it? I mean, the database won't
change from that surely?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
