Whoops. Sorry I missed that.

ANY wizard can do it, as long as s/he has a password and a wiz bit on 
the original, it will still be there in the copy. To start a moo on a 
telnet port, this is done on the OUTSIDE of the moo, by writing a shell 
command like

$> ./restart copymoo 7778

or something. To be able to log in via web, the web port must be set. 
Now, this copy has still the original web port number, and that must be 
changed to the new one before you are able to access it via web, 
evidently. This must be done on the INSIDE of the moo.

You have thus to log in to the moo in TELNET and set it there. Either by 
calling the @configure command and following what it says, or simply by 
doing this (let's say your new web port is 7001 as opposed to the 
original 7000):

;unlisten($network.webport)
;$network.webport = 7001
;listen($httpd, $network.webport)

You need not shut down the thing before this takes effect.

As I said. ANY wizard may do this. A non-wizard may do this only if he 
is the owner of the server (folder) on which the moo is running, and 
using the wizard-override emerency mode. But that's another story.
