Hi, Jade,
Thanks for your note. I'm chocking it all up to experience. I don't mind most of the problems, and I'm glad to know that a lot of work is being done to improve some of these issues! I hope I will be able to pitch in some, myself.
Thanks for the tip about IRC -- I'll go there next time. I tried the admin UI, then dropping the tables in psql directly, then -- oh brilliant idea -- "reindex database," which I know now never to do.
In the end I built a new OpenACS and put that up on port 80, and put the old one (from a nightly backup) on 8000 for tinkering. There are a few people who came and registered on my site last weekend, so I'll unfortunately lose their registrations, but that's all.
Unless: Is there a way to transfer registered users from one instance of OpenACS to another? That would seem to be a very helpful admin script to have...
Regards,
Shawn
