Okay, so it is the login settings.

I'm a little suspicious of commenting out the lines in the middle of
the settings.  I think that may comment out the continuation
character, ending the setting at that point.  Try moving those lines
out of the way and rebuild the database.  It also might be a good idea
to include the default entry explicitly at the end, to make sure you
know you have good defaults.
