I am using Apacheds 1.5 on Windows XP and editing the xml in Dreamweaver CS. Once I add a new partition in the server.xml, the server will not restart.  I also tried this code on Apacheds v1.0 and had the same kind of problem.   server.xml

Hmmm is this link to your server.xml below? My web browser kind of gave me a little hint when I opened up
the file:

     XML Parsing Error: mismatched tag. Expected: </property>.
Location: http://www.nabble.com/file/p13419865/server.xml
Line Number 399, Column 3:</bean>
--^

You might want to check to see if your XML is valid.  I'm seeing some ugliness here btw
in your sevenseasPartition configuration:

    <property name="contextEntry">
 <property name="contextEntry">
  <value>
      objectClass: top
      objectClass: organization
      objectClass: extensibleObject
      o: sevenSeas
  </value>
</property>
</bean>

Hi Jeffrey,

I see that Alex has answered your question.

FYI, we have a users mailing list, which is the best place to send
question related to ADS usage.

Thanks for using ADS !

This is an awesome paper - I'd love to put it on our site with a How to Ask Questions link.  Should we do that?

I think we should. It will hopefully reduce E-Mail traffic like this
one. I have added it here

We should also have a section for "politely answering silly questions".

After having burnt myself by answering stupidely to "stupid questions"
(or questions I thought were stupid ;), I usually don't answer them
anymore. A polite silence is much better IMHO than a blatant answer ...
But this is my own strategy, based on : "Don't try to play fool with
fools : they have a lot experience you don't have ..."

Oh thanks Stefan I should of added instead of waiting for you.  Just was wondering
where to put it however you put it in the perfect place. 

Thanks again,

Sorry if you all think this question was stupid.  I am a medical doctor that don't have much experience with computers.  My head is wired for medicine not computers!!!

No it was not stupid.  It simply showed that you wanted us to do everything for you
to help you.  I spent 5-10 minutes looking at your XML (server.xml) file to give you
the answer in a reply but you totally missed it and kept asking what I think is the problem.
That's when people put their hands up and go "how much more can I help this guy."
That was 10 minutes of time I could have given to my kids instead of trying to help you
for free without any benefit.  Would you be so patient or generous?

The best advice I can give you is to hire a contractor who can do the work for you so you
can treat your patients instead of wasting time here.

Thanks,
Alex

"Doctor, my leg hurts..."
"Hmmm, I think it's broken, you should go to the next hospital"
'Oh, Doctor, do you think something is wrong with my leg ?"

Pretty sure that you will ask your patient if he has also some kind of
Alzeihmer ...

This is what your mails and our answers looks like, when you read them
again.

People are pretty patient, but they don't like to be asked twice the
same thing. We work on this server for fun, on extra hours, and you can
bet that those extra hours are numerous (it's a 500 000 lines of code
beast, something you just don't write in a couple of weeks). Sometime
you will also get an harsh answer just because it's 3 am, and we are
tired trying to fix an obscure bug instead of having some rest.

The link Stefan pointed to contains many reasons why 'hackers' don't
like what they consider as 'stupid questions'. Of course, it's a
semi-humorous test, and you should not consider that hackers are always
right. We are all volunteers, and we are sometime very vocal, that's it.
