For what it is worth I know Tim and Rob are looking into the demo
server issue now.

Are there any volunteers on the PMC who would be willing to work
with the ASF infra on getting a demo server setup on an actual ASF
server? As great as it is to have this demo server contributed by
Hotwax (and yes, I am a part of Hotwax), the people that do infra
stuff at Hotwax don't always follow these mailing lists so reporting
problems here does no good. At least with ASF infra people would
have someone the infra Jira and such to use when issues arise. I
could try to ping those people every time I see something on the
lists, but that means a single point of failure (me), which is a bad
thing, and I end up being a nag and having to get involved and
investigate every time something goes wrong, which I'm not really
all that available for (I won't go into details, but just believe me
when I say that I don't have much influence on those things).
On the other hand, maybe hosting a demo server like this would be
too much of a pain for the current ASF infra volunteers (who tend to
get stretched rather thin sometimes). So, I don't know what the best
solution is...
This is one of various things that are not on ASF infra, and that we
need volunteers to help with migrating. To make things more
difficult, in order to even help you must be pretty involved with
the project, most things requiring PMC membership to get going.
These have been on my list for a while (see the last OFBiz board
report for details), but that list is pretty big and priorities
difficult for me to decide on...
Help! I'm drowning! ;)

I get the same error on the demo site, yet my recently-updated
local copy works fine.
Someone who has access to the demo site needs to check the logs.
