[Spread-users] Newbie - new installation dies after seconds

[Jonathan Stanton]

I'm not positive why this is occuring, but if you don't turn on the
logging (the -l y flag) does the problem still occur?

The logging enabled by the -l flag is probably not very useful to anyone
besides the developers or for debugging very unusual problems. The main
logging most people use is controlled by the "EventLogFile"
and "DebugFlags" declarations in the config file.
