The Quick Start Guide is part of the Admin Guide. Its configuration file 
example begins with replication directives, relica uri and bindmethods. 
That's jumping into the deep end of the pool. I need to start with a 
simple database with no replication, not even any security. One issue at 
a time, please.

I tried to simplify the example but could never get past the "No such 
object" error.
