i haven't seen this error but here are a few things to check: be sure all the files were uploaded in ascii instead of binary. auth should be a directory/folder in the folder that contains db.cgi. auth folder should have permissions 777. check permissions of all files per dbman installation instructions.


line 51 of original default.cfg is:

require $db_script_path . "/html.pl";

could it be that html.pl is missing?
