I finally made it to work - sort of. Somehow it doesn't create config.xml

SO i created one.
However, I keep getting locked out every time it talks to the database (it
seems)

Here's the debug file. Almost looks like my Zotac Ion is too slow - it's
like it's freezing up.

I also seem to have lirc issue - I have a wireless keyboard connected to my
FE, and my remote seems to work fine - it does left/right and play, etc
