If you are installing on a PLESK server and in a SUB-DIRECTORY, you may get 500 errors or 403 errors. bellow is a possible solutions.
1. Upload All files in the subdir as normal
2. Do not make any of the normal subdirectory installation changes (as per setup instructions).
3. Upload all cgi scripts in the ROOT cgi-bin
4. Edit the /cgi-bin/uu_default_config.pm and /cgi-bin/audio/uu_default_config.pm in the ROOT cgi-bin as to point to the subfolder
#EXAMPLE
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
temp_dir => $ENV{'DOCUMENT_ROOT'} . '/video/temp/',
upload_dir => $ENV{'DOCUMENT_ROOT'} . '/video/uploads/avi/',
redirect_url => '/video/uploader_finished.php',
path_to_upload => '/video/uploads/avi/'

This way the script will look for the cgi files in the ROOT bin and these cgi files will know where to actually save the
uploaded file i.e. in the subfolder.
