Server Netscape-Enterprise/3.6 SP1

Solaris, PERL 5.00502 AB6.9.6.4 Free

Installtion Procedure: via WEB, standard

1) use ?cmd=sinfo&all=1 to find server info (OK)
2) created abmasterd/ under user's home dir (OK)
3) uses ?cmd=init to create masterd admin (OK)
4) 3) automatically redirected to forum creation page (OK)
5) trying to create a forum under virtual path anyboard,
the browser hangs (??)
6) telnet into the server found that anyboard/ already exists,
Anyboard should spit out an error saying dir exists,
but did not. (??)
7) in view of 6) changed directory to anyboard_forum/,
and redo 5), again the browser hangs.
Obviously, this is a problem with the netscape server, as the
script must exited, but the server is not returning anything
to the browser, casuing it to wait.
8) based on our previous experience, anyboard should have actually created the forum successfully(even though the server did not respond and the browser hangs). By accessing the new board url, confirmed this: the board is already created. In the program, Anyboard redirects to the board url automatically after creating the forum, somehow, netscape server ignored this redirection command.

Conclusion: Anyboard can be setup on Solaris + Netscape Server via web, however, the browser may hang during final forum creation step, even though the forum creation is successful.
