Sorry - - - had an agreement TO PAY an individual. Something happened (I
couldn't find out what) and I was left with no installed software. Can't
afford the other pay for install options (Minumum fee quoted $500.)
I reread all of my posts. I gave exactly what I had done. Gave the output
and asked what to do or even where to look (RTFM doesn't work if the manual
is outdated and/or non accurate!!)

I have 3 pages of notes on the changes to the instructions that I compiled
in trying to install. Was going to write it up so that it would be easier
for someone else to effect an install. At this point I don't think there is
any interest from the developer community in that information. Yes I found
that I needed quite a number of changes because the instructions were for
something different.

Why do they NEED respect? If the output doesn't work it doesn't work and
respect won't change that.

Thanking you for your consideration!!
So Postgres configuration can be a pain.
Apache configuration can be a pain.
The Perl code doesn't really install correctly and likely needs numerous
run throughs.
This is what's called easy to install - - - - hmmmmmmmmmmmmm?
I would hate to see hard to install.
