[ome-users] webadmin inaccessible via localhost:8000

[josh.moore at gmx.de]

Hi Zoltan,

if nothing's listening on port 8000, then most likely django gave up
for some reason. Could you send the log files from var/log?
Specifically the OMEROweb.log should have information on why it
couldn't start.

Best wishes,
~Josh.
