I have an .emacs file that only contains:
(if(string-match "^app"(getenv "HOSTNAME"))
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'flyspell-mode))
But when I start emacs I get the error:
"Wrong type argument: stringp, nil"
If I comment out the above two lines I get no error.
Any ideas?

The part
(getenv "HOSTNAME")
seems to return nil. You can check this by evaluating this part. I
recommend you to refine your code to handle that nil-case.
Possibly it suffices for your case to set the environment-variable
HOSTNAME to the right value.
Best wishes
