Is this one of those Java middleware nightmares (like IBM WebSphere)?

I've found that a couple of them (WebSphere) are supersensitive about
capitalisation in hostnames, which is thoroughly retarded, but makes
some amount of sense given the Javacentricity of the whole clusterfsck.

Also, if you're using Orrible, make sure you have the listener turned
on.  I can't count the number of times that's left me scratching my
head.

Dude, we've all been there.  I'm just glad that this week isn't my week
in the stocks.
