Not sure if this will fix your problem. But I am guessing your trying to set it up on the Public Login server. In which case I can see a couple of problems with your config. Please see below for the amended version.
Also any lines that start <!-- Some Text --> are not read by the emulator there just for remarks. But it will read any line that starts <Some Text>
Hope that helps a little. At first its very confusing. Not long started my own server. But it does get easier…
