Set up a third WO server


I want to re-experience the installation process to see where we're at.

I happen to have a freshly installed OPML Editor on one of my servers to use as a test bed.

http://howto.worldoutline.org/

This server is going to be called monster3.worldoutline.org.

The bucket is going to be /static.reallysimple.org/monster3/wo/.

Narrative

Did the installation of the root, but the browser window didn't open because I'm using Chrome and there's no DDE support.

Hit a problem when I entered the S3 path. Nothing wrong with the path, but when we tried to set up the root, we ended up in worldoutlinesuite.roots.initroot, and it has a new thing where it tries to get the member prefs. But if there's a problem doing that, and there was, we get an error, and that causes the setup to fail. It shouldn't.

I got into a little trouble because I am using an identity server, but this isn't a problem a first-time server sysop is going to encounter.
