Those errors are actually harmless, except for the 'production mode -
trapped fatal error' one. Loading kohastructure.sql manually will just
confuse the web installer. I've gotten that production mode error
myself when I had the wrong CGI::Session libraries installed. You may
need to install CGI::Session::yaml

Hope that helps.
