    Those are safe to ignore. The first means you haven't created a custom error page for the 500 status response, and the latter two mean you haven't created a site icon.

    Note the links in my post:

    Read my sig and follow the directions for information on what a BOM and shebang are. (Note: the shebang link has been updated. It originally pointed to a thread on common problems causing the error you were getting.)

    Be sure to read all pages linked in this post; they have further information that should prove useful. When asking for help, make sure you follow Eric Raymond's and Jon Skeet's guidelines for prompt, accurate responses. Please answer any questions I ask; they're not rhetorical (probably). Any posted code is intended as illustrative example, rather than a solution to your problem to be copied without alteration. Study it to learn how to write your own solution.
    Misson, not Mission.
