Hi,
i always get the 500 error when trying to call db.cgi.
All permissions are correctly set, default.cfg is also adapted to my needs and the perl-path is also correctly set.
When I look at my httpd log, it tells me the following:
syntax error in file /web/sites/webe211e/cgi-bin/dbman/db.cgi at line 57, next 2
tokens "new Benchmark"
syntax error in file /web/sites/webe211e/cgi-bin/dbman/db.cgi at line 63, next 2

Thanks for answering!
By the way:
I only write in the default.cfg the path to dbman. I left the rest unchanged! Had I to change sth. else what is not mentioned in README.txt??? The Perl path should be correct!

Again by the way: I made the whole directory readable!

Save a copy of your default.cfg file as a text file, and place it in a directory on your site that can accessed. Then let me know the URL and I'll take a look. The syntax error is probably in your cfg file but is being picked up in db.cgi.
If we carn't find any thing wrong with default.cfg then we can look at db.cgi.
