[freeside] Configuring from web interface shows code

[ivan at 420.am]

Follow all steps in httemplate/docs/install.html.  Specifically:

Configure Apache for the Global directory and to execute .cgi files using 
Apache::ASP. For example: 

  <Directory /usr/local/apache/htdocs/freeside-asp>
  <Files ~ (\.cgi)>
  AddHandler perl-script .cgi
  PerlHandler Apache::ASP
  </Files>
  <Perl>
  $MLDBM::RemoveTaint = 1;
  </Perl>
  PerlSetVar Global /usr/local/etc/freeside/asp-global/
  PerlSetVar Debug 2
  </Directory>

Please make sure you have followed all steps in the instructions before 
asking for the time of the hundreds of people on the mailing list.
