Just need help getting solo mining PPC to work

Please save yourself some time in explaining to me all the reasons I shouldn't solo mine and provide me with your pool info which is way better than solo mining.

I WANT to solo mine. If you can help me with that, awesome. If you cant, please move to the next post.

That being said, I would like to solo mine on my computer using poolers cpu miner and the ppc qt.

I have downloaded the miner. I can get the miner to work with any pool I try.
I have downloaded the ppcoin qt wallet and it has fully downloaded the blockchain.
I have created a ppcoin.conf file in the ppcoin directory

the contents of that .conf file are:

server=1
rpcuser=lee
rpcpassword=raster99
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=9902
addnode=84.200.84.74

I have created a batch file in the ppcoin wallet executable folder and the contents of that file are:

ppcoin-qt.exe -server

I execute the miner with the following batch file contents:

minerd.exe -o 127.0.0.1:9902 -u lee -p raster99

when the miner runs, this is the error I get:

[2017-03-05 14:48:42] Binding thread 3 to cpu 3
[2017-03-05 14:48:42] HTTP request failed: The requested URL returned error: 500 Internal Server Error
[2017-03-05 14:48:42] json_rpc_call failed, retry after 30 seconds

Please HELP me get the solo miner running. I have a very good reason for wanting this to work. I have 17 various ASIC's that I would eventually like to mine solo with.

thanks in advance.
