You may need to have perl-suid (or perl-suidperl, depending on your
linux distro and packaging) installed.  Or maybe httpd-suexec for some
versions...

And you don't see much in the web interface until you can log in as
and admin user - so apache has to be configured to request a login for
the location and you need to have your login in $Conf{CgiAdminUsers}.
