The install process should put the CGI files in the directory that
you specified in the bbconfig step (the web-server directory often
called cgi-bin). If that has failed, I would check directory
permissions to make sure that you are able to write there when
installing.

The HTML files that BB manipulates are not placed under the web-server
tree structure, but live in $BBHOME/www. Traditionally, that directory
should be linked from within the web-server tree and the web-server
configured to follow symbolic links. With recent versions of Apache,
you have the option to add the $BBHOME/www directory as an additional
source instead. That avoids the need to allow symbolic links.

Cheers, Phil.
