Once I hit the cgi script in my browser, and fill in the info screen, I hit INSTALL and get a 406 error. Any idea of the cause?

I quickly googled the subject and here is what I came up with:

http://urbangiraffe.com/2005/08/20/mysterious-406-error/

or

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/251215

But basically from Microsoft here is what they say:

"When you use the Accept-Language header and the file name specified does
not include the file extension, the following error message occurs:

Error 406, No acceptable objects were found."

I read on another forum that a refresh page might work, but I don't know where
you are at (eg installing or what) to just say do that. If you do that during
installation it might screw something up.

If you run into a "406 Error," I'd suggest you first contact your hosting service. Mine said that it was due to internal security protocols they had installed and "opened a doorway" for me to continue with the installation of DELAVO. Once that was handled at their end, the install went just as expected and I was able to log into DELAVO without incident.
