Hi Steve,<br><br>It sounds to me like it can't find the xmlrpc-1.2-b1.jar library. It should be in the "lib" subdirectory of the shoola distribution. What is your OS, and what version of Java are you running? It is possible that it failed to load the library because your version of Java is older than the one used to create the JAR file. Maybe one of the Shoola developers can comment further.
