Nor do I think you followed the directions for editing it... if you 
really did, then please provide the location of the instructions that 
told you to use ':' instead of ' = ' for your config file parameters.

Probably not... you're probably just not finding them, because you're 
config file is hosed.

Start over, and this time, follow the instructions without adding 
anything to them.
