I have been reading posts all day on this forum and you guys are extremely helpful, but after trying everything I can think of, after logging in as admin/admin, I always get a 404 - File not found error.

I have tried changing the $db_script_path a number of times, to no avail. When I set it to "." I at least get the login screen to appear. I will attach my current default.cfg at the bottom of this message.

The address of my database is http://cyberbuzz.gatech.edu/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/tke/dbman/db.cgi

I know that my permissions are set correctly and that I've uploaded in ASCII.

The only thing that I can think of is that I need to change the $db_script_path variable. I am running on an Apache server at a university and for protection, the server is set up to redirect all of the scripts to a special run-time environment. In other words my scrips are located in the /cgi-bin/dbman directory, but to hit them from the web I need to go to /cgi-bin/cgiwrap/tke/dbman directory.

I'd really appreciate any help. I've been working on this for 2 days and really just want to get the demo to work.

Thank you in advance,
Eric Smith

I tried accessing your site by going to http://www.cyberbuzz.gatech.edu/...rap/tke/dbman/db.cgi. I got a 404 error. That means that the url is incorrect as you have defined it in $db_dir_url in your .cfg file.

I also tried going to http://www.cyberbuzz.gatech.edu/...cgi-bin/dbman/db.cgi, just to see what happened and I got a "Forbidden" message. Which indicates the file is there, but the permissions are not set correctly.

Thank you for your quick response!

The URL that you want to hit is the following: http://www.cyberbuzz.gatech.edu/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/tke/dbman/db.cgi

You had an extra "/tke/" directory in the one you were trying to hit.

Well, you have an extra /tke/" directory in your $db_dir_url in your .cfg file.

Thank you very much for pointing that out :) I set that a while ago and just assumed that it was right. If you want to send the Moron Of The Day Award my way, just let me know.

I am now past that and can see the main menu.

You are a very kind and patient person for replying to all of these messages. Thank you.

Well, we all make this kind of mistake once in a while. Sometimes it takes someone else to locate the error.
