The error "symbolic link not allowed" means that your httpd.conf file for
your apache web server is wrong, and is missing "FollowSymLinks" on the
"Options" line of the "<Directory ...> section.
Since Netreg 2.0 installs it's own httpd.conf file which is specially
configured for it (and actually DOES have "FollowSymLinks" in the file),
I'm assuming then that either you entered the wrong path into the
instalation script (so it put the customised httpd.conf in the wrong
place), OR you didn't restart the web server after the install_script was
run, so it's still using the old configuration file.
I expect that the other errors are related to the same problem, however
"Can't locate Variables.pm in @INC" means exactly that. (ie it can't find
that file) It then lists all the directories it looked in for the
"Variables.pm" file. You should go and find out where your Variables.pm
actually is (it's installed by the install_script into your cgi-bin
directory - depending on where you instructed it to), and if it's not in
one of those directories, then there's a problem in your instalation
somewhere.
You can always re-run the install_script, and change any/all of your
answers (it will remember your previous answers for you, whether they are
right or not, so be careful to check).
David.
