I'm not sure what's causing your error, but I'm sure it's easily fixed...
One thing you should check before you fire it up is whether it's been
patched for a little bug that was posted to Bugtraq last week.  There's a
patch available; you should be able to find it on the archives at
www.geek-girl.com...
