I already went through the install documentation
when I discovered the first problem.  But anyway,
yes, this one was a permissions problem as well.
I had to make the transactions directory and all
of its subdirectories world readable/executable.

Then I discovered that if I tried to reply to a
requestor via the web interface, that also results
in the "Internal Server Error" web page.  I ended
up having to make the transactions directory and
its subdirectories be world writable too.  Then
that worked.

I never expected to have permissions problems --
permissions were set by the Makefile and I didn't
change any permissions until after I got the
"Internal Server Error" pages.  Considering the
scripts were setuid, I would have thought there
wouldn't be any permissions problems...

Oh well, thanks to all for the help.
