Installation
I've been trying to install dbman in various ways and not having much luck. When I typed in "http://www.gayoutdoors/cgi-bin/dbman/db.cgi" in my brower window I either got a black screen with a lot of text flashing quickly or "file not found" depending on the how I entered info about the URL of my cgi-bin in the default.cfg file. (see below why I tried two ways).

I'm loading the demo into my Web Presence Provider (burlee.com)server. I'm running on FrontPage extensions so the server is a Windows NT environment. I've been told by Burlee that script permissions are already set on an NT environment so I don't need to worry about it. I've also been told by Burlee what I do not need to point anything to Perl as it recognizes it automatically but I still kept the path to Perl in the default.cfg file as it was. And I transfered all files in the ASCII mode.

I have noticed that once I transfer dbman into my web hosts' server, all files are placed in the "auth" folder. So I've tried two ways to edit $db_dir_url and both have not worked. My first try was http://www.gayoutdoors.org/cgi-bin/dbman" and the second try was http://www.gayoutdoors.org/cgi-bin/dbman/auth".

I'm at a complete lost as what to do next.
