Q: I cannot install a web server like fexsrv, because I have no root permissions. Is there a pure-CGI-version of F*EX which runs with an apache web server?
A: F*EX is hard bound to fexsrv for several reasons (performance, file size limit, session concept, etc) and cannot be run as CGI under apache. But you might have a look at

+ * https://github.com/FileZ/FileZ
* http://freshmeat.net/projects/eventh/
* http://www.schaarwaechter.de/sp/projekte/dateiaustausch.html (German only!)
Q: F*EX is not working at all! I cannot connect to it with my web browser!
A: Check your routing, ipfilters and firewall setup.
Also check if xinetd is running. If it is linked with tcp-wrapper, configure it correctly (hosts.allow).
+ /etc/xinetd.d/fex should not contain a line "only_from"
F*EX needs port 80/tcp for HTTP and optionally port 443/tcp for HTTPS.
+ Test the connection with: telnet YOURFEXSERVER 80
