500 Server Error
I'm getting a 500 Server Error with my installation...

Premature end of script headers: /usr/lib/cgi-bin/dbman/db.cgi

Anything obviously wrong before I start playing with my Apache config files?

Usually 500 Errors are caused by either not uploaded all of the files in ASCII mode or by the path to Perl being incorrect in the first line of db.cgi.

What I would do is delete the files on your server and upload them again, being absolutely certain each file is uploaded in ASCII mode. Set your permissions. And try it out.

If you still have problems at that point, check to see that the path to perl is correct in the first line of db.cgi.

Heh, I'll check the perl path, then... since I didn't upload anything. I downloaded the tarball w/ Lynx and decompressed it; all in Linux, so I don't think the differing newlines would play a part in my error.

Easy way to check is to just try:

./db.cgi

from telnet. You should see an error saying you can't call this from the web with a list of environment variables.
