West, The APAG venue server (https://vv2.ap-accessgrid.org/Venues/default) runs headless, with only the VenueServer and BridgeServer running on it. You shouldn't need any of the other AG tools except, maybe, VenueManagement and certmgr. How does a vanilla installation with the default certificates run? chris Christoph Willing Ph: +61 7 3365 8350 QPSF Access Grid Manager University of Queensland
