Several years ago my DBMan database was working fine but my ISP (former) wiped out everything.

Now I am attempting to reinstall on Earthlink.

My files can be inspected at http://limericks.org/DBManStuff

Earthlink tells me my cgi bin is named cgi

(quote)you will not have cgi-bin folder, however you have another folder called cgi where you can place all the cgi scripts. once you login to FTP your website, you will logged into webdocs folder which is the default folder, in the webdocs folder you can see the cgi folder.(endquote)

I have uploaded all my DBMan files to the cgi folder, but I don't know how to test/run them. The JPDeni's Tutorial tells me to go to a modified url [limericks.org/cgi/dbman/db.cgi]

http://server/cgi-bin/dbman/db.cgi

but I get a 500 Internal Server Error

Earthlink says (quote)I'm sorry to inform you that you cannot run the CGI script directly, you have to use html file to call the CGI script then it gets executed.(endquote)

My attempts to call the cgi script fail.

I think there is something basic that I do not understand.
