Just got around to looking back at this. That was in fact the 
piece of missing information. I never linked to or modified the 
dmd.conf file. Every thing works great now. Thanks for the DMV 
info but I prefer to do this manually. This way I'll never have 
to worry about an installer package being broken or unavailable. 
Besides, once you know what to do, this is pretty simple.

Thanks
