Hi all

It’s been a while since I’ve been on here and noticed a few things have progressed.

I have started noticing that I am beginning to suffer the effects of hard drive failure with bad blocks showing up on the machine that I host my old local copy of emoncms on.

Will add a guide to install in due course and keep this thread updated.

Jimmy
