I configured all the variables in the cfg file, and put it all up in the directories specified, in my CGI-bin. First, I got an error because database.html wasn't found in the same directory as the Mysql.cgi, (it was in the templates directory below mysql.cgi) so I made duplicate files of all the htmls, and put everything in the main directory alongside the main CGI, as well as in the directory specified in the readme.

Now when I call the script, I get an html screen with a normal header, followed by a list of all the databases my host maintains. (I am virtually hosted, and the host supplys the mysql database) My database is in there, but if I click on any link, I get the 403 forbidden error, telling me I "do not have permission to access CGI-bin/mysqlman from this server". This even happens if I click login, create, Top, etc. What makes it wierd is that is the directory for my program, not the database, and theoretically, the program is telling itself it can't access itself from it's own server? It seemed to be the same type of error I would get trying to access any file in ym CGI-bin, so I htought maybe the html's were not able to be read if they were in the cgi-bin.

So I moved all the HTML templates and help pages to a directory outside the cgi-bin, along with the two jpgs, redid the two html files to point to the jpg's, altered the paths to the help and template directories in the cfg file, but that didn't change anything, and I am still getting the same 403 error.

I am guessing this is just a dumb configuration thing I screwed up, so I apologize in advance if this was a stupid error, but I have tried changing everything, but nothing works.

I have configured and installed many CGI scripts, so I know to put everything in ASCII, and have experience with paths vs Urls, chmods and a lot of the other stuff that is involved in this, but this has me stumped. And my host's position is they don't support outside scripts, so here I am.

Any new ideas anyone can contribute would be really appreciated.

Thanks
