Thanks Daniel, Michael, Moshe. It seems like a combination of working through the issue queues and using a step-through debugger is probably the best way to proceed.<br><br>For the record I&#39;m going to try <a href="http://robshouse.net/article/xdebug-komodo-and-acquia-drupal-stack-installer">http://robshouse.net/article/xdebug-komodo-and-acquia-drupal-stack-installer</a>. I&#39;m going to use it with XAMPP rather than the Acquia DAMP stack through (I can&#39;t actually get Acquia DAMP to install on my Mac - see <a href="http://acquia.com/node/911603">http://acquia.com/node/911603</a> - any tips?). Does the Acquia stack have any particular advantages?<br>

<br>Thanks once more, I&#39;m off to set up a debugger. Wish me luck!<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/10/12 Daniel F. Kudwien <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:news@unleashedmind.com">news@unleashedmind.com</a>&gt;</span><br>
