Not to set you off on a different track: But for UI development I would recommend using a lightweight simulator. If you have a working (ant clean-all build-all succeeds) environment, run the following on two separate shells and you should be able to get going. Shell #1 $ ant clean-all run-simulator (starts up mgmt server with simulator) Shell #2 $ ant clean-all run-marvin (wait for success, configures zone and hosts) This will setup a simulated environment for advanced zone. Then go onto http://localhost:8080/client and the configured cloudstack will help you test your UI fixes. Requirements: python 2.7 and a working pip installer which I think are part of DevCloud. Other network model configurations are in the tools/marvin/marvin/sandbox HTH -- Prasanna.,
