Problems with Terrarium server application

I managed to install the Terrarium Server (Beta 1) on my machine without errors and changed the permissions on the website as per section 5 of the readme:

"
5.1     Setting up Directory Permissions for ASPNET account
    The first directory is used by the charting component to generate charts for
the Terrarium reporting engine.  You'll need to grant the ASPNET account read,
write, list folder, and modify permissions to the:

    InstallRoot\Website\ChartData folder

    The second directory is used by the Species WebService to store submitted
creatures on the server.  This permission is required for the Terrarium server
to accept creature submissions.  You'll need to grant the ASPNET account read,
write, list folder, and modify permissions to the:

    InstallRoot\Website\Species\Assemblies folder

But when I run serververification.aspx under administration I get an InternalServerError for Request for url: http://localhost/Terrarium/Charts/ChartNew.aspx.
"

Also if I run http://localhost/Terrarium/default.aspx I get an error:

"The file C:\Program Files\Terrarium Server [Beta 1]\\website\chartdata\601e6c77-59e0-4dbc-b737-eb888137d4c0.gif could not be opened for export."

Also the setup program has created the database tables but has not populated them - is this correct

Verify that the path it is trying to access does in fact exist.  You can also put the following entry into the web.config file in the <settings> node:

        <add key="ChartPath" value="[PATH_TO_CHARTDATA_FOLDER" />

Since web.config by default doesn't include this setting, the server tries to create a default one.  This breaks especially if you install the server bits in a place other than the default location.

The database is for the most part empty until clients start running against it and people introduce organisms.
