Ok then so im gonna put these in steps in order from what i know.
1.gain apache, mysql, perl
2.allow apache to use cgi
3.create a database for wakaba
4.download wakaba files and unzip them
5.edit config files config.pl,wakaba.pl,maybe another one
6.At this step im confused, where do i put my files to make them work? I think i have to put them in apache but i don't know if i should put them in the root directory or the cgi folder. After i do this i should be able to access the site.

Another thing is you said not to make wakaba my defualt page so what should i tell apache and if i need to be able to make wakaba.pl an html file how do i do that? As you can see i have the basic idea on how to get started but the problem is tweaking config files and placing my files in a place readable by perl and apache. All thanks to who gets my stuff to work
