I was running my update script from a different directory than usual, and it popped up with the error

```2012-03-06 01:09:59 E An error has occurred. This may be a bug. Please let us know!
See http://docs.overviewer.org/en/latest/index.html#help

This is the error that occurred:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/var/apps/minecraft/Minecraft-Overviewer/overviewer.py", line 460, in
ret = main()
File "/var/apps/minecraft/Minecraft-Overviewer/overviewer.py", line 255, in main
mw_parser.parse(options.config)
File "/var/apps/minecraft/Minecraft-Overviewer/overviewer_core/configParser.py", line 70, in parse
raise ValueError("bad settings file")
ValueError: bad settings file```

After looking at the source, that exception is only raised if the config file does not exist. By changing to the full path the error went away, but it would be a simple fix to implement.
