I have downloaded and set-up Dbman 95% successfully.
My problem is that the Add new record form is not posting to the db file.
I have uploaded all the files in ASCII, and quadruple checked this.
My files permissions are correct. I have checked this a hundred times.
db.cgi -rwxr--r--
html.pl -rw-r--r--
auth.pl -rw-r--r--
default.cfg -rw-r--r--
default.pass -rw-rw-rw-
default.count -rw-rw-rw-
default.log -rw-rw-rw-
default.db -rw-rw-rw
auth drwxrwxrwx
README.txt -rw-r-r
My files paths are correct.
I just do not understand where my error is.
My cfg script is below.
If anyone can see the error that is eluding me, please let me know!
