Exception thrown during startup

[apmlaszloacct]

I'm experiencing problems getting the presentation server to start up.
I fixed the log4j appender problem, but now I'm getting this exception from Tomcat:

I'd recommend undo-ing any changes you did to "fix" the log4j appender warning. The warning is harmless and the server will (eventually) start-up on your platform.

I'm afraid it doesn't startup eventually, I've tried waiting (several times), but it just times out.
I've re-installed a few times and it still doesn't work.

But I've now installed it on my other pc and it does work OK there, rather odd, but at least I can evaluate Laszlo now!
