Hi Gwil

I hope it's OK that I have copied this to the list -- someone else
might have some better ideas than me.

Re-running the install script might be the best thing to do at this
stage, it creates the home page as the only document in the
database.

Can you get this page:

  http://editor.equality.leeds.ac.uk/?admin=document_add_form

Oh no what a mess! 

I don't understand why the style sheet isn't being loaded -- it is
OK if you request it directly:

  http://www.equality.leeds.ac.uk/.static/css/screen.css

One thought I have had about the pronblem you did have with the
search not returning the home page is that the search index needs to
be build on a regulat basin with a cron job -- perhaps this wasn't
set up?

I think for this shell (ssh) access would probably ne needed to sort
things out.
