+To make dumpykota.cgi work, you have to ensure that your web server 
+runs it as a PyKota administrator. This means that dumpykota.cgi 
+when run must be able to read the pykotadmin.conf file. There are 
+several ways to do so, one of them is to put the user your web 
+server normally runs as into the pykota group (which must be allowed 
+to read pykotadmin.conf), then restart your web server :
+            
+            $ adduser www-data pykota
+            $ /etc/init.d/apache restart
+            
+This is probably not the safest way though, so you may want to            
+restrict access further with an username and password, or use
+Apache's suExec mechanism to directly run this particular 
+script as the pykota system user. Please refer to your web
+server's documentation for details.
