[Anthill] Anthill not running anymore

James,

I've had this problem as well.  I was able to trouble shoot it by 
looking at the appserver logs and seeing that some Anthill files somehow 
got into the wrong place.  In my case, some of the files in anthill/conf 
somehow got copied into anthill/projects and that was causing it to blow 
up on startup.  I *think* it was copying the .schedule files over into 
the anthill/projects directory and I never figured out why.

I'm running Anthill OS 1.6.3.67 on Resin.
