I know nothing about mochiweb specifically, but

this means that the function mime_typer_app:start(normal, []) couldn't
be called.

Without knowing anything about your level of experience, my
stab-in-the-dark guess would be that you haven't compiled the code.

Another likely reason would be a broken code path. Try

  code:get_path().

A less likely but possible reason is that you can't compile the code
because of a broken or outdated erlang install.
