Any ideas on this installation error?

CGI extension [ENTER for none]: .pl
Checking dir with a web fetch...*** Failed ***
015 Garbled IP address `4t145237.aspadmin.net' in the function: setaddr
Can't connect(1) to 4t145237.aspadmin.net:80 : Success

The web server for 4t145237.aspadmin.net does not appear to be running.
Make sure it has been started, or try another server on this machine.

The little fetch utility used during installation is confused by your host name. Try specifying your host by ip instead of name during installation. Once it's installed you can go back to using the name instead of ip.

thanks mark... i tried that, and i get this:

Checking dir with a web fetch...failed, will try again
The response from the web server was: HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden
Trying again with file...Ok
Verifying version...Ok
Verifying variables...*** Failed ***
$urlroot was /cgi-bin/texis.pl/installtest/func.html/cgi-bin/texis.pl/installtest/func.html instead of /cgi-bin/texis.pl/installtest.
$pathroot was /cgi-bin/texis.pl/installtest/func.html instead of /installtest.

One or more variables were not set as expected by the URL:
http://216.98.145.237/cgi-bin/texis.pl/ ... html?-dump
The web server may not be running Texis for that URL, or it may be
incorrectly setting CGI variables. Netscape-Enterprise/3.6 is known
to have such a bug. Your web server appears to be
Apache/1.3.20 Sun Cobalt (Unix) mod_ssl/2.8.4 OpenSSL/0.9.6b PHP/4.1.2 mod_auth_pam_external/0.1 FrontPage/4.0.4.3 mod_perl/1.25.

Make sure you are running a web server that sets CGI environment
variables, such as $SCRIPT_NAME, $PATH_TRANSLATED, $PATH_INFO, and
$DOCUMENT_ROOT, correctly. Without them Vortex cannot run correctly
on a web server.

Looks to me like the webserver or it's script wrapper "cgiwrap" is botching PATH_INFO and/or PATH_TRANSLATED. Can you avoid using cgiwrap?

Someone else might have some ideas during business hours tomorrow.

No. You probably need to reconfigure the server to change how it handles CGI's.
