Awesome.  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.
