Hi everyone,

I am quite new to MySQL and Perl and am having a lot of difficulties.
I have MySQL installed and MS Visual C++ 6.
I have also ActivePerl installed as I was already running a Perl based software (wonderdesk) which was based originally at one of the gosamer-threads products. This software is running fine... so the Perl installation and IIS seem to be ok.
I have also tried using MySQL and it works fine on its own.

My problem is that I wanted to use a user friendly tool that would allow user to submit a query via html (perl behind) and get the return of their query in html also. I ended up finding MySQLMan.

After I changed the URL in the MySQL.cgi and MySQL.cgf, I got an error saying that I id not have the DBI installed.

I installed it by running ppm> install DBI.

After that I got the same message for DBD. I did the same procedure.

Then I also installed the DBD::Mysql and DBD::Oracle.

Then the MySQL.cgi started working.

The thing is that the MySQL.cgi opens, but when trying any link or anything on that page, it gives the the error:



Page cannot be displayed Cannot find server or DNS Error
Internet Explorer

So...

I also tried enabling the automatic logon, but the only difference is that it shows more links on the page, but none of them work.

Does anyone have any idea of what could be happening?

My whole intention is to create a way of making a query on a simple MySQL table that would have only 6 colums.

It will be used as a translation terms database.

So.. when you type a term in e.g. Italian, you would get the translation of that term in 5 other languages.

I already have all the data for the table. Now it is a matter of knowing how to install and run properly this MySQLMan.



Please let me know if you have a clue about what might be happening.



Thanks in advance

Leo
