Not exactly. Mainly coz they now have their own company server and they
would like all their company apps on that server. Easier to maintain in
one place etc. And Yes, the original developer is *Not available* to
them anymore. So that's also an issue.

It isn't happening on heroku and frankly I can't really be bothered as
then they're still stuck to that platform. I'd prefer to get it running
stand-alone on a Ubuntu box. So then we can migrate it to their own
server.

All in good time. It's gotta work first. Isn't working on heroku
as-of-now and isn't working anywhere else either :-( It is working code
though Ok.

We work kinda differently here... ;-) We'll get it working,
up-and-running, then discuss what needs to be done for the future... For
now - just trying to get it past first-base to see that it *can run* on
a stand-alone webserver and isn't too tightly bound to the heroku stuff.
See?

So, again - any help is appreciated. Constructive criticism is too. ;-)
You even been to Goa (India)? I you haven't you must visit - it'll
improve your disposition :-D

Goan.
