[ome-users] Moving OME to a new machine

[Graham Klyne]

I have found a rather drastic answer to my own question...

I use psql to "DROP DATABASE ome ;", then re-run the OME installation 
script to re-create the OME database.

(I can't help feeling the OMEIS host domain name should not be embedded so 
thoroughly in the database, or if it is that there should be an easy way to 
change it, without ditching all the database contents.)
