Hi airizarry,
Thanks for the post. Sounds like a server configuration issue. I googled the error you are getting and it looks like a fairly common issue impacting WordPress users across various server configurations and plugins. Here are some of the links that looked most helpful. I would look at the first from WPMUDEV as it seems to be the most promising.
