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

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.
