Hi Jose --

you need to set up Apache to use basic authentication; webmake.cgi
requires that for a rudimentary level of security.
This is discussed in doc/cgiinstall.html.

I would say that the URL you are accessing is not going through the
authentication system; perhaps the Location line in the httpd.conf
file doesn't match where the actual script is.  Ensure that it's
actually asking for a password in the web browser!
