The switch from the original (static) website to the current (dynamic) website took place this evening. The steps were:

1. dns a record change
2. add vhost entry on gaining apache server
3. dump database
4. edit sql dump: test_db_name -> prod_db_name, test_dns_name -> prod_dns_name
5. copy/modify drupal site configuration file (see above, two lines)
6. create empty prod_db
7. load tables into prod_db

And point a browser at www.mainecommonwealth.com ... finis.

Remaining issue -- a big one -- is figure out how the table-rich text from the old index.html interacts (poorly) with the three-column format.
