Hmm. I created a test cgi on the server in the system Apache, and it  
executed properly.

Ah, but then I checked the module loads in the FDS admin-serv/config/ 
admserv.conf, and the cgi module was commented out -- thanks!

I can now access the web admin server from the local machine. Can't  
get to it remotely, even though I followed the instructions described  
here:
   http://directory.fedora.redhat.com/wiki/Howto:AdminServerLDAPMgmt
But I can now see it working, and that's more than I had before. I'm  
sure I'm just a few tweaks shy of getting remote access working.

Thanks for your help and patience!
