Found your issue you are having, and that is that domain names i.e.; da_butcha.tripod.com is that the under score is not a valid char' in a domain name. I get this error;
Invalid URL Some aspect of the requested URL is incorrect. Possible problems:
Missing or incorrect access protocol (should be `http://'' or similar) Missing hostname Illegal double-escape in the URL-Path Illegal character in hostname; underscores are not allowed
This is why you can not get it to run.
