You're not supposed to run the setup program -- it's for backends only.  the 
Master server address is a global setting, and only needs to be set up once.  
All a frontend needs in the way of setup is mysql.txt pointing to the 
database, then everything can just be customized as normal from within the 
frontend settings.
