NewsPro FAQ

Installation

How can I fix 500 Internal Server Errors or 403 Forbidden errors? How can I include news.txt into my HTML page? (Problems with SSIs) When I log in, NewsPro sends me to a page on the wrong server (the URL it thinks it's at is incorrect). How can I fix this? Why do I see the contents of newspro.cgi rather than a login page?
