I just tried installing 7.0a for the first time (trunk 2007-11-26), on a
Mac running 6.5.4 under OS X 10.3.9.

a) First tried with option for prefs pane "To This User"; it didn't ask
for any authentication, but simply reported it had failed (sorry, didn't
record the exact message).   So then I tried the option "To All Users
(requires authentication)", which duly asked for authentification, and
succeeded.

b) Using the "Start Server" button in the prefs pane flicked to "Stop
Server", then almost immediate back to "Start Server", and indeed the
SB couldn't see the server, and neither could a web browser.  Looking
at the console showed:

===== Mon Nov 26 2007 ===== 23:03:08 Europe/Dublin =====
ERROR: Cannot find server.prefs file

==================================================


This is my first attempt at SS 7, and I'm not going to be able to get
into it intensively.  

a) Is it worth creating an account with bugzilla and reporting this, or
is well known stuff?  Is the crash log useful to the developers, or
would it be old news?

b) SS isn't mission critical to me, so I'm not bothered if stuff
breaks; but I don't have a lot of time to fiddle right now.  So my
second question: is there an easy fix with a decent chance of getting
me to SS7; or should I just go back to 6.5 and wait for SS 7 to get
debugged some more?


TIA
