[Cdash] CDash installation

[Daniel Bentley]

Trying http://server/CDash/install.php results in the same as other .php
files from CDash, I am prompted 'What should Firefox do with this file?'
as before.  As before, downloading the file when prompted by Firefox
results in a 0 byte file.  Other test PHP code in the CDash directory (a
phpinfo() test page), with the same file permissions, still works fine.

http://server/CDash/images/Alert.gif displays an image as expected.

There are no redirects in my Apache configuration.  Speaking of Apache
configs, are there any particular 'Options' I should explicitly have/not
have for the <Directory> statement where CDash is located?
