I tried a 2nd install on a XO-1.5 I had and received exactly the same
results.  (Without the MN tag problem).  The install appeared to go
smoothly.  ejabberd claimed it could not start up. Reboot and the same
httpd problem with pathagar exists.  Fixing that still does not
correct the registration problem.

Running tcpdump on the exchange shows that the request to the webcache
port is responded to with a RST.  Nmap the sever and there's nothing
running on port 8080.  So whatever is supposed to be servicing that
didn't happen.  Other services look ok.  ssh, dns, http are up, squid
is up on 3128,  xmpp on 5222 and 5280 and presence is on 5298.
Identical behavior on the 1.75 server install.

So I'd say either all my machines are broken somehow or there's been a
regression.  I'm going to bail and use XS .7 for my dev purposes as
this yak is starting to get hairy.  I can still run some diagnostics
on the machines if you find you can't duplicate the failure and want
more info.

I've also discovered that the terminal command prompt appears to have
broken line wrapping.  If you type really long lines in the terminal
activity it will wrap back to the beginning of the same line rather
than the next line.  The command still works but it makes it difficult
to review things when you look at history.

Hope this helps.
