InstallPoint will install all EditWrx files in an "editwrx" folder in the domain's root folder. EditWrx runs through one central Perl script named wrx.cgi (wrx.pl). If your server requires you to run cgi scripts from a cgi-bin you will need to move wrx.cgi to the cgi-bin folder with FTP. The purpose of a cgi-bin was made obsolete in 1995. Modern servers allow cgi scripts to run anywhere in the domain. EditWrx recommends that you attempt to run InstallPoint's installer.cgi from an editwrx folder before assuming that your server requires scripts to run from a cgi-bin.
Apache/Unix
EditWrx v6 requires that the server be running the suExec utility. SuExec is recommended by Apache and is a basic requirement for running any Perl or PHP program that allows users to alter files on the server through the browser. SuExec forces cgi processes to run as the owner of the script file, thereby allowing the process to write to files based on the Owner's permission. SuExec processes can therefore write to files in your domain that have only 0644 permissions. The 0644 permissions also prohibits a cgi script from another domain on the same server from also writing to your files.
IIS/Windows
EditWrx will run on any Perl enabled IIS server. You may need to have the server administrator enable Execute and Write permissionss for the domain.

Yes. In fact, editwrx.com runs on a Linux/Apache server. The only requirement for a Linux/Apache server is that the suExec utility be running. Almost all linux/Apache servers run suExec by default since 1999. The InstallPoint auto-installer will test your server for suExec before installing.
The Window/IIS instructions are given simply because Windows/IIS can be more difficult to set up than Linux/Apache.
