OK Derrick, since you say you're quite new at this, we're going to go easy
on you this time (but only this time! ;-) ) Questions like this should
first be researched through the email list archives, the FAQ, and the
on-line documentation. In this particular case, you will find that this
issue has been discussed quite a bit yesterday. It's a problem with setup
that still needs to be resolved. There's also suggestions for work-arounds
in the meantime.
If you follow the mail list (which I assume you don't), you too will be
amazed at the number of people that will report this problem without
checking first to see if it has been answered. This will continue to be
true even well after we post the ultimate solution, if the history of like
situations is any indicator.
Good luck,
