headless service doesn't work for my wiki

There is an issue about running headless (discussed on the PWS list 
some time ago) that headless works well from Morphic, but not always 
from MVC.  Make sure that your image is running in MVC.

The way that most of us run headless is to use a mechanism that 
Andreas came up with.  Put in a workspace.

Smalltalk snapshot: true andQuit: true.
"All your restore stuff goes here"
PWS serveOnPort: 80 loggingTo: 'log.txt'

Select all of this and DoIt.  Your image will save-and-quit...IN THE 
MIDDLE OF THE DOIT.  When this image starts up, it continues the 
DoIt, which is the restore and the PWS startup.

It's running fine right now.
