Apache 500 internal error

Hello,

I used to run a sever with the livejournal source code. I had my share of problems getting it working on slackware back then. I am now using Ubuntu, and finally got apache and mod_perl compiled under Ubuntu. So now I am starting from scratch again.

I have tried fresh installs of the lj files a couple of times. Apache starts but returns an internal apache 500 error code page for all requests. error_log shows:
[error] Can't call method "notes" on an undefined value at /ljsite/cgi-bin/Apache/BML.pm line 1968.\n

The DBCHECK script also returns Bogus DB: at bin/dbcheck.pl line 117. which makes me think there is a problem wiht the db connection, may be hanging the rest of it up. It isnt giving the LJ Internal DB connection problem page however. So I think it has to do with, not having BML setup? or something else.

I am using the instructions at www.livejournal.com/doc/server
Are there any updated installation docs?

Any suggestions are appreciated, trying to get back into it.

Thanks!
