Just a story of being a bit thick here for you:
Came back to using Enketo and ODK after a while, manually inputting a few
paper forms through Enketo to ODK Aggregate. I'm trying to wean people off
paper as much as possible but there's always a few...Did about an hour of
data entry, thought, ok, let's log on to Aggregate to check they've
actually gone through (Enketo saying they are being submitted fine).
Hmm. Scroll down the page. Can't see any new responses. The last ones
appear to be from August! Okay, let's try another form... oh no, this
doesn't seem to be updating either! Let's try one that I've got set up
using ODK collect... still nothing!
Okay one last try before I panic, let's try this very short form I set up
just for testing purposes. This one seems to be going through fine, there
are only 5 or 6 previous responses so I don't have to scroll down to the
latest ones... the penny drops...
Went back to the other forms, changed the all important "Submissions per
page" option from 100 to 500 and scroll down. There are all the other
responses! An important lesson was learnt today. :S
Where can I get a good tutorial on hooking up a locally hosted Enketo with
a locally hosted Aggregate server (on Ubuntu 14.04)? Been looking for some
good documentation for a couple of days now 
Thanks in advance,
Tumaini

Thanks for sharing.
Tumaini, is this just for development/testing? In that case, for a* local
development server,* the easiest is to use the vagrant
installation: https://github.com/kobotoolbox/enketo-express#using-vagrant.
Once you've got Enketo running well, all you need to do to link it with
your Aggregate server is to enter 2 configuration items in Aggregate (Admin
Preferences >> Enketo Webform Integration):
- The API url which is something like http://localhost:8006/api/v1
- The API key which is something you can set yourself in Enketo's
configuration file (default in Vagrant VM is enketorules - because it
does)
Best place to ask questions is the enketo user
forum: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/enketo-users.
Cheers,
Martijn

Thanks Martijn, well initially its for testing, but eventually (in a couple
of weeks) I need to deploy two browser based forms in a live study (with a
locally hosted server) so was wanting to evaluate Enketo's suitability. I
am conversant with ODKs tool suite but unfortunately that offers no browser
based data collection. Would ideally like to continue using the
xform/xlsform standards.
Thanks ,
Tumaini
