ValueError at /admin/ in Django - django

Question

Thanks for looking into this. I'm very new to Django and LDAP Config....so any help is greatly appreciated!
ActivePython 2.6, Django-1.2.7, openldap-2.4.23, python-ldap
So i have the Django installed. I'm trying to configure LDAP to it by following this instruction http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/901/.
After making making changes as described in the above document, and when i run 'python manage.py runserver' I'm gettting this error. Any idea why this is happening? Been looking at this for about a week and no idea how to get this fixed.
