Unless you've already paid close attention to permissions I would
not assume that your application will run on papio.biology.duke.edu
solely because it runs elsewhere.  The other way to test against
an exact copy (which you may have already done) is to restore
a database backup or to checkout a copy of the code and use
'make' to make a new empty database.

Unfortunately you need Unix access to papio.biology.duke.edu
to get to the code archives.  I have not yet gotten around
to making the archives public.

It is also possible that there's subtle issues regarding
the database's character encoding or other such aspects
of the install that could come back to bite you.  The
code archives contain READMEs and sample postgresql
config files and install tips.

OTOH, there may be no problem at all.

Also, I have a separate copy of the application AND the

(FYI, there are other databases on papio.biology.duke.edu for
the purpose of playing around.  I can make more, need be.)
