There were quite a few more improvements to the server code in the past week! OPs are encouraged to git pull.

If you haven't pulled in a while: The server does no longer require bitcoind to be patched. You need run bitcoind with txindex=1 instead and may need to reindex once if you're adding the setting. Please see the HOWTO which is up2date: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum-server/blob/master/HOWTO.md
