	Can you hit the site via a web browser? e.g.:

		http://www.osborneindustries.com

	Make sure your virtual hosts are working before you even try fp
	extentions.  Make sure the user/group that owns the files in
	DocumentRoot have uid/gui > 100.  Make sure you have the proper
	'AllOveride All' directives for those directories.  Use the
	owsadm.exe command line tool if fp_install.sh still doesn't work.

	Oh and forgot to mention, close httpd.conf file before running
	these tools.  The install will fail if httpd.conf is opened
	with vi or another editor.
