The same basic problem. I went through the steps many time, but I am not able to get the demo db working. I get the following error:

HTTP 500 - Internal server error
Internet Explorer

I have read thru many of the post and tried some of the differant suggestion. I suspect it is simply not getting the correct path.

This is being run on Perl 5.0

the cgi-bin location was copied from another form which does work.

Once we do get this up and running it will be used for commercial purpose. But only if we can get it working.

Please contact me directly

Please save your files as text files and then upload them to a publicly accessible directory on your server, so we can see the files. Then post the URL to where the files are located in this Thread.

Make sure you have done the following:

1) Uploaded your files in ASCII mode.
2) Changed the permissions of your files appropriately.

Regards,

Thank-you for taking time to look at them


Text files are located at
www.breddam.com/dbman

Included is a script from Matt, which is currently working. Any info in there may help. As well, the error log from the server, when I was trying to install it.

the script will be run from:
www.advanmedia.com/cgi-bin/

the path display via WS_FTP is:
/usr/local/etc/httpd/cgi-bin

All files have been chmod as per the readme

I you can page me via ICQ, then I will be able to help out in any way.

I guess you misunderstood my request.

Save your files as text files, like the following:

db.cgi = default_cgi.txt
html.pl = html_pl.txt
default.cfg = default_cfg.txt

Then save the files in PUBLIC WEB DIRECTORY (NOT your cgi-bin), like:

http://www.mydomain.com/temp/

I tried accessing the URL you provided and I got a Forbidden Directory error.

I thought I had posted them to a public location:

the text files are located at
http://www.breddam.com/dbman/

Please try again, and if you have any problems, I will find another location.

Try setting the $db_script_path variable to the physical directory on your server, like the following:


WITH NO TRAILING SLASH.

Make double sure that you transfer your files in ASCII mode and set the proper permissions.

Also, make sure that your Perl Path is correct in your db.cgi file.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
