[cobalt-users] [Qube 2] Problems running external cgi



I installed "Discus" discussionware on my Qube 2.
It's a straight forward process.

On my other Linux-system (Mandrake on a standard PC) I don't have any permission-problems when I use "Discus" but as soon as I try to create a new message on the Qube 2, I get the log-in dialog which is triggered by the factory installed software.
It is triggered because I need to access (execute) a "Discus" cgi which probably resides where it shouldn't be.
I checked the permissions and it may be executed by all.

1) Could anyone give me an example of the absolute path to a directory where it is OK to point the Discus installation software to install the cgi.
2) Please also give me the url to access the cgi for the above absolute path (www.yourserver.com/... etc).
Maybe I need some additional information to solve this problem and I would be happy if it is supplied too :-)

I'm a newbie on this list (and as you can read, to Linux too) and I have scanned earlier postings here but couldn't find an answer so far to my questions.
Cheers, Gunther
