 Ok, two things here (these need to be documented until we figure out a
 way to resolve them).

1. If a 'which sandweb-admin' shows the file residing in /usr/bin, this 
   is not good. Delete the sandweb-admin script in /usr/bin. Seems in
   some cases (we aren't sure exactly why it varies) the Makefile 
   puts it there automatically because it is registered as a binary. However
   we manually put it in /usr/local/bin/sandweb-admin and it's this
   one that has the config file changes, etc, added to them.
   
   Based on your output though (it's not complaining about not being
   able to find a config file in ../etc) it seems as if you are running
   the one in /usr/local/bin.


2. Always create sandweb user accounts su'd as the webserver user (in
   your case apache). It looks like this isn't documented in the README,
   and I'm not sure why. The permissions need to be set as the webserver
   user.


Ok, so other than that, the install looks good. So what happens when you
access the cgi for the first time? (it would help probably to turn debug
on in the /usr/local/etc/sandweb/sandweb.cfg).
