[SPTUsers] help with installation

I am attempting to install SPT on a site hosted by lunarpages.com. They 
offer Apache 1.3.29, PHP 4.3.3, MySQL 4.0.15, and Perl 5.8.1. I do not have 
telnet access, but instead must use FTP or their cpanel GUI.

I placed the two SPT files in my cgi-bin folder, created an empty SPT 
folder, and modified sptinstall like this:

# default installation directory and web address
my($DefaultDstDir) = "/home/public6/public_html/".$AppShortName;
my($DefaultWebAddressDir) = "/".$AppShortName."/";

[snip]

my($WebAddress) = "http://(my site's URL)";


To run the install I pointed my browser to http://(my site's 
URL)/cgi-bin/sptinstall-1.2.2

Everything appears to run without problems. Here is the message I get at 
completion:

Scout Portal Toolkit v1.2.2 Installer

Scout Portal Toolkit.  Default settings, when available, will appear after the

To complete installation of the Scout Portal Toolkit go to:
     http://(my site's URL)/SPT--Install.php
with your web browser and follow the instructions given there.

Thank you for using the Scout Portal Toolkit!

However, when I try to browse to http://(my site's URL)/SPT--Install.php, I 
get a 404 error.


Not Found

The requested URL /SPT--Install.php was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an 
ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Any ideas about what might be going wrong with the install?

Thanks.
