0.5.2 database.CreateCharacter failed

[Gangrif]

Whenever i try to create a character on my server (0.5.2 on Linux) i get this in the logfile:

Name approval request for:Maleko race:1 class:14
Choice:4
[Error] Database: could not find start_zones entry in database. Using Defaults..
[Error] CreateCharacter query 'UPDATE character_ SET timelaston=0,guild=0, zonename='freportw', x=0.000000, y=0.000000, z=0.000000, profile=

(insert lots of 0's \'s and other such characters here)

WHERE account_id=2 AND name='Maleko'' #1054: Unknown column 'timelaston' in 'field list'
database.CreateCharacter failed
Got a bogus character (Maleko), deleting it.
PP length =0

and it rejects my character name.
I saw another thread about this, and it said that something wasnt supported by 0.5.2 that caused it, but there must be a way to fix it as i can see 0.5.2 servers up and running. Any suggestions?

Thanks.
