  First, there is no need to mangle the log messages by adding additional "highlighting" marks.  Just post the text.  We can figure it out.

  Second, the default configuration works.  So if your system doesn't work, it means that you edited the configuration and broke it.  Don't do that.

  Go back to the default configuration.  It WILL work.

  If you had explained what you changed, maybe we could identify what was wrong.  Instead, we only know *that* something is wrong.  We don't know *what* is wrong.

  Therefore the only advice we can give is "go back to the default configuration.  It works"
