Frank, To get MMBase working, your first step SHOULD be to step up a working server environment. You won't be able to do anything with MMBase without a properly installed servlet container. I suggest you setup MMBase with Tomcat 4.x as this gives best results with the JSP based editors (the relation editor generates JASPER compile errors under Tomcat 3.x) of MMBase.
Besides that, my "tip of the day" would be to setup MMBase with Tomcat first *outside* WSAD. Once you got that running you can transfer your webapp context from your Tomcat directory to your WSAD workspace directory. From there you should be able to configure your Tomcat test instance within WSAD. As an alternative you should consider to setup MMBase with Eclipse and the Tomcat plugin from SYSDEO (in stead of WSAD). This is probably a much easier way to setup MMBase in a development environment. I know WSAD is based on Eclipse release 1.0 which contains some pretty nasty bugs running Tomcat and probably will give you some long and lonely nights with your debugger. These bugs are fixed in Eclipse 2.0. Running MMBase against DB2 requires a DB2 driver for MMBase, as MMBase doesn't (yet) support DB2 out of the distro. We have written such a driver and are currently test-driving it. We expect to release it to the MMBase community shortly. The problem you mention with HTML files doesn't ring a bell. We had none of those problems. Did you try a distro of MMBase or did you use a CVS snapshot?
