I have started over with a clean install and new database for my ofbiz
install.  

It was having a hard time starting up with the default Derby DB.  Lots of
"Hotspot" failures.  I tried a mysql DB on this host (mediatemple) and it
didn't help.  I tried a mysql 5 DB on my mosso plan, and i get a lot fewer
of those failures.  It also runs through the startup a lot faster.  

I still get timeout errors when I hit mydomain.com:8080/...  I called my
host and they say I can only use the 80 port for html; that their system
will ignore requests for 8080 and any other ports.  I make the change to
port 80 in ofbiz-containers.xml, serviceengine.xml, and url.properties just
to see what happens. 

Http11Protocol.java:178:ERROR] Error initializing endpoint
java.net.BindException: Permission denied:80

(and about four other similar errors).  What I think this tells me is that I
can't grab port 80 to use with ofbiz.  And since they'll ignore traffic that
tries to come in on 8080 (hence my errors) I can't stay on that hosting
plan.  

If I upgrade my plan to dedicated virtual (of course) I can do whatever I
want with the ports.  I can also use mysql 5, and have 512M of dedicated
RAM.  I'm thinking about dropping Mosso and switching over to this plan (I
can't afford to carry both of them right now) but before I do I want some
validation that this will solve my problem.  Moving will be a PITA, and I
saw some conversation on this board about how virtual servers don't have
adequate performance anyway.  

Am I on the right track with this approach?  In other words, do you think
switching to the plan where I can control the ports will solve my problem? 
Am I wasting my time anyway without a dedicated server?  Anything else I'm
missing?

As always, I am very grateful for any assistance you can provide.

Judd
