How to do the installation/upgrade of the FAQ-O-Matic on java.apache.org:

#1. ungzip/untar the FAQ-O-Matic distribution.

ftp://ftp.cs.dartmouth.edu/pub/jonh/

#2. make sure the directory /www/apache.org/java/faq/user_perl exists.

#3. cd into the directory and type:
perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/www/apache.org/java/faq/user_perl

#4. type make

#5. type make install
note that on a new installation, this will fail on the last line. this is
because there is a bug in the installer that doesn't create a directory
before trying to write into it. simply create that named directory with a
mkdir -p.

#6. cp the "fom" file into /www/apache.org/java/faq and rename it
index.cgi

#7. if not already done (it is running in my account jons), install the
line in the file "crontab" into your crontab to execute the hourly
maintence scripts.
