hmm an underpowered pc, well that's an unfortunate new variable to add to the discussion. If it's really an underpowered server then you have more problems on your hand then just getting something like tomcat running. I've run web servers on underpowered machines in the past and its no fun so I feel for you. As for getting this thread onto one of the wiki's, that's an interesting thought. I'll have to think about how it could be done so that someone could get some use out of it outside of the context of all the threads. I wish you luck. Let us know how you finally do solve the issue Jose
