Use a WebMO server to construct your inp.in file
I looked at your geometry input, and it seems weird. It looks like there should be a 5-membered ring (imidazole) so I added a C-C bond. I used a WebMO server to look at your XYZ file and construct the input file for a new job. You can use the demo site at www.webmo.net (1-minute CPU limit), or chem.uaf.edu/facilities/WebMO which has a longer limit, or you can download and install the free version of WebMO on your local computer (it has some limitations though).
Here is the input file I used (you don't need a "driver" section: maxiter goes in an "scf" section. Also, you forgot to tell NWC that your ion is a singlet.
