Ok, I have spent soem time reading here, so this is what i know:
1. all files were uploaded in ascii
2. permissions are correct
3. path to script is full absolute path

I'm uploading to a NT W2k Advaced server.
Perl 5.0004
.pl and .cgi file types are mapped to perl

if i upload db.cgi, i get an internal server error.
if i rename it to db.pl and change the call in default.cfg to db.cgi...i get a "DBMan encountered an internal error. Please enable debugging to view."

i turned on debugged in default.cfg and this had no effect same error.

any one have any ideas? please? with a cherry on top?

www.kellerwilliamsfl.com/cgi-bin/db.pl or

www.kellerwilliamsfl.com/cgi-bin/db.cgi

sorry....

You most likely have a problem in default.cfg

In db.pl, add the line $db_debug = 1; underneath the $db_script_path variable. That should produce a more helpful error message.

This little symbol would tend to indicate that one or more of the files were uploaded in binary mode:
websiteskellerwilliamsi-

The files need to be uploaded in ascii text format.

yep , i saw that also, so i deleted all the files and re uploaded;

DBMan encountered an internal error.

ok, heres what i know now...when i set the path in db.pl using double quotes, i get an error that contains the binary symbol hickey, if i use single quotes i get the following:DBMan encountered an internal error.

btw, i uploaded the zip file to the server and unxipped to the dbman directory right from the zip file, then edited the files on the server. so the ascii thing should not be an issue sine i did not use an ftp program to install tese files.

It is really tough to identify the problem using just the error messages posted - seeing the actual files (saved as text file) would be a big help in troubleshooting.

This area of the error message has two different file paths as indicated by the red area. Somewhere there is an innaccurate path listed in the files.

DOH! Confusious say: Man should not include the name of the drice when entering file path... LOL
