    Graham,

Thank you for checking it out. I just attempted to use the method above
(Server.run())to run the demo and got the same timeout error.
"""
An error occured while loading http://localhost:8080:
Timeout on server
localhost
"""
It did not work when either run as user or root both with
quixote.server.medusa or Server.run(). Demo runs perfectly fine with the
AMK's medusa distribution.

I am stumped as well. Would you care to tar up your complete patched
Quixote0.7a3 directory and email the tarball to me? I will reinstall
quixote from it and try again. I am sending a cc to the list. Maybe
someone has an idea of what might be wrong.


Regards,

Alex.
