I'm glad to hear that you've got this working, but I'd like to
understand what the problem was so it can be prevented in the future.

The collection consisted of one CDS/ISIS database, correct? Did you
create the collection using the GLI applet, or did it already exist on
the server? To get it working, did you explode the CDS/ISIS database
using the non-remote version of the GLI on the server?

I have added more information to the Troubleshooting section of
http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/~mdewsnip/greenstone/remote-greenstone.html

Please read through this and take it into account for future problem
reports. I'd expect that there would have been an exception thrown that
was causing your error, and seeing this would make it much easier to debug.

All the best,

Michael
