Well, I have tried everything I can think of and I have yet to get a *server*.xml file to show up in the tmp directory. Some things you could try: 1) Stop server, delete tmp directory, start server, and see if the *server*.xml file reappears in tmp, and if it still uses 24364 for the post. (I'm sure you have tried this already). 2) grep for 24364 in the app server and your application's files. That number had to come from somewhere.
