I'll try that and report back. As to why the admin-serv on the current install won't work anymore, I don't know. Nothing interesting in the logs, except that once upon a time, the log would include somthing about using IBM Java, but now that isn't showing. Probably not a big deal, because the upgrade will get it running via apache, so hopefully it is a non-issue. If you want more info for whatever reason, I'll be glad to provide it. -- Best Regards, Darren Fulton
