500 error
I´ve just download and installed dbman, I´ve got all permissions in order but I keep getting a server internal error HTTP 500. I think I´ve upload all the files in ASCII mode, How can I check this?.
I also want to know if the path to perl is all right, I asked the server administrator and he told it was /usr/bin/perl, so in the first line of the script I´ve put #!/usr/bin/perl, Is that all right?
Sorry but I´m a newbie on this.

This is correct the way you changed the perl path as instructed by your host provider.

Without seeing how you have your .cfg file setup it would be difficult to know why you are getting errors.

Please save a text copy of your files to your server and provide the url to each of the text files.

You might also want to check the FAQ noted below under the section "Troubleshooting" there's a great little mod which will help you get useful error messages from your server.

Open up the script and if it has lots of carriage returns all over the place then you uploaded in binary. Remember to chmod the cgi scripts appropriately and to find perl type whereis perl using telnet/ssh then change the path at the top of the script.
