Navigate to your cgi-bin directory using a browser. For example, http://www.server.com/cgi-bin/agnes . A dynamically generated page will appear with a first time general setup section. Fill it with:
the admin password is used to access this section and the administrative sections of any bbs
the admin email appears in all common sections
the blank url is the location of a b.gif blank separator file, which you should now download and place on your web server from http://agnes.vestris.com/b.gif
the mail exchanger is the mail server, used to send email messages for article subscriptions, confirmations, etc.
the forum creation password is required if you do not want to allow random people to create boards on your server
the proxy should be filled if you are behind a firewall or use a proxy to access the internet
If this section keeps coming with errors after you have filled it, you have not set appropriate permissions. Make sure you have suid (chmod 4755) the binary on UNIX and that IUSR_COMPUTERNAME has write access to your cgi-bin directory on Windows NT/2000.
You can now create a new BBS.
