Is it possible to disable FrontPage just to see if the
libapreq tests are OK when run as another user?

That error message means that libapreq.so, which is required by
Apache::Cookie, couldn't be loaded. Do you have a
libapreq.so under /home/admin/libapreq-1.2/blib/? And if so,
does it have the permissions set so that the user under
which the web server is running as can load it?
