I'm still wandering around confused... When I install the system from the current dowload shell file, I see that directory j64-701/addons/ide/jhs contains files dated in in early June. But there is no "config" directory - it is in this state that I can edit ~bin/jhs changing the 0 to 1, and get a session in my browser.
There things work OK and if go to JAL and update and get ide jhs, back in the jijx screen I see: Updating server catalog... Updating server catalog... Installing 1 package Downloading ide/jhs... Installing ide/jhs... Done. Now on the server there are several new files dated 8/4 including a new jhelp.ijs file (which is 40 bytes smaller than the older one) and directory "config" which contains only file jhs_default.ijs - reading that file, I decided to make an edited copy in ide/jhs (which the default file says will be read) but that didn't guide me out of my confusion. So - i ignored the direction in jhs_default.ijs to not edit it, and put "any" in place of "localhost" - that does let me start jhs and see it from a browser on another machine. Now at least I can have a jsession and see the newer browser presentation. The labs work OK for the first one, but bomb on chapter 2, maybe loading more packages will help that. However, I still can't try the new lineplot or pieplot... Anyway, a little progress - thanks for your helps, I'll be patient/quiet waiting for some more filling in of blanks in the next distribution. Presumably I'm now able to use "Package Manager" to pick up new stuff. - joey At 12:30 -0400 2010/08/09, Eric Iverson wrote: >A more careful reading of your message and I realize you are caught by >changes in conffig between releases. > >If/when you got the new version running somewhere you would see in the help >that the way config is done has changed.
