First off let me start by saying that I am about done with Alfresco. I was close to being done after spending 2 weeks figuring out how to upgrade from 3.4 to 4.0b, and now I am at the edge. I have NEVER in my life seen a more finicky piece of software. Every time I go to change something or upgrade

The exception (Error start VtiServer) states the cause as :"java.net.BindException: Address already in use" and your config is vti.server.port=7070.
It seems that your already have something running on the standard Vti port 7070.

In order to be able to start up Alfresco successfully, you can change the port number in your settings file or stop whatever's using that port. Alternately, you could uninstall the SharePoint Vti module, and then your Alfresco repo would start up without the Vti support (and so it wouldn't try to use port 7070).

I understand that. However I can get it to start one or two times, if I have to reboot the server and restart the service it fails. I have changed ports, I have used ports that I KNOW are not in use, but the problem continues. Alfresco was working all day yesterday, now I do a restart of the server after an update and the service fails to start with no changes. I now I have RE-INSTALL again just so I can recover my documents.

I am done with Alfresco.

If Alfresco was working fine and you restart after an update - perhaps it was the update that has caused the problems? What exactly have you updated? You've somewhat contradicted yourself by saying that there have been no changes but there has been "an update".

If it's always the same binding error that you're seeing are checking that the port is definitely not in use and is not subsequently being used by another process?
