HI Peter Thanks for the lightning reply!
A quick check on the DreamHost Knowledge Base doesn’t answer the question, so I’ve had to generate a ticket in their support system. A lot of LC people use DreamHost, and as I say it was kind of working until I foolishly binned my 7 series version in favour of 8.1. What scares me is having to do command-line stuff on an OS I know absolutely nothing about. The instructions and installation notes I’ve read so far don’t work for someone with that particular phobia.
