Why do I see the contents of newspro.cgi rather than a login page?

 

Some servers require that CGI script have a .pl extension. Try renaming newspro.cgi and viewnews.cgi to newspro.pl and viewnews.pl. Do NOT rename nsettings.cgi -- it's not actually a CGI script, but it must always have a .cgi extension.

Triple-check that you've CHMODded newspro.cgi as described in the installation instructions. If you're on a Windows NT server, you may need to ask your system administrator to set permissions on newspro.cgi so that it can be run.

Failing these options, speak to your web host.
