Content Server 4 help

Question

I have been charged with the task up setting up the Content Server 4 for the company I work for so we can try it out during the test period to see if it is something we want to purchase. There is a week left of our pre-release trial and I'm completely lost!
I've managed to get all three of the status checks to give me all green check marks, but I really have no idea where to go next to even use the program. I haven't been able to log in to the admin console either. I had to contact support to get the build.xml file needed to build the UploadTest-1_1.jar file that the user guide said was included, but wasn't. I don't know how to work that either. The command that support gave me just results in errors. I know very little about Java.
The user guide seems to give a good explanation of how the program works, but in my opinion doesn't explain how to actually use the program (some of the setup was a bit confusing as well). I don't know where to start to make it do what it is supposed to do.
If anyone has any hints for me I would greatly appreciate them. Thanks!

Hi everyone...
I'm just yelling all the day to this program in order to make it work...
I succesfully get the Package message work but i cannot make the GBLink working... i always get the "E_ADEPT_URL_SIGNATURE_ERR http://dev1:8080/fulfillment/URLLink.acsm GBLINK_AUTH_SIGNATURE_NOMATCH" error
I am writing in C# and this is the code i use to make the GBLINK
        public static string CreateHMAC(string xmlElement) {
            string key = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"; //--THIS IS THE shared secret key you can find in the admin console for the distributor
            HMACSHA1 myhmacsha1 = new HMACSHA1(Convert.FromBase64String(key));
            byte[] hashValue = myhmacsha1.ComputeHash(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(xmlElement));
            myhmacsha1.Clear();
            return ByteToString(hashValue);
        public static string ByteToString(byte[] buff) {
            string sbinary = "";
            for (int i = 0; i < buff.Length; i++) {
                sbinary += buff[i].ToString("X2"); // hex format
            return (sbinary.ToLower());
                   string rightsRequested = "";
                    string orderSource = "XXXXX"; //--This is the distributor name
                    string url =
                        "http://dev1:8080/fulfillment/URLLink.acsm?action=enterorder" +
                        "&ordersource=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode(orderSource) +
                        "&orderid=1&resid=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode(resourceID) +
                        "&rights=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode(rightsRequested) +
                        "&gbauthdate=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode(DateTime.Now.ToString("MM/dd/YYYY HH\\:mm UTC")) +
                        "&dateval=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode(DateTime.Now.ToString("MM/dd/YYYY HH\\:mm UTC")) +
                        "&gblver=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode("3") +
                        "&auth=";
               string hmac = XmlUtil.CreateHMAC(url);
ANY help will be grateful appreciated!
