what I did for my cgiwrap server was this:

1) created a directory 'fileman' in the cgi-bin

2) extracted the install files and copied them there

3) ran the install via:

http://www.MYSERVER.com/.../fileman/install.cgi

4) didn't put anything in for "Path to existing admin area", clicked next.

5) FileMan Install correctly determined everything except the images path and the root path. I had to put the images path outside of the cgi-bin in order for the images to show. And, of course, you'll want your root path to point to the root of your webserver instead of the fileman directory.

That was it for the install but I did encounter one bug, fixed in this thread:

Good Luck!

*post edit* forgot to add that FileMan set the permissions to where they work just fine. However, CGIwrap is made so that you can set your permission much tighter for security.
