a target

Background:
-w3af revision 3623
-w3af host: Fedora core<<2.6.33.3-85.fc13.i686.PAE>>
-target: custom Drupal install

Settings for remoteFileInclude:
- usew3afsite   True
- listenPort    44449
- listenAddress x.x.x.230

Result:

Questions:
Can I safely ignore this error as w3af is trying to start a web server
that is already running?

Is is safer just to use w3af.sf.net and forget about running a local web
server?  I found that if I set listenAddress to 127.0.0.1 it will only
use the w3af.sf.net server.

Should I submit a formal bug report?


Thanks,
