I'm making gradual progress in getting DBMan to work, but there always seems a new error around the corner. Could someone guide me as to how I respond to this message:

"Failed Script (Apache Error 500)- The script you're trying to access has suffered a fatal error. If you've recently altered the code, you may try to isolate the error by running perl -w
/data1/hypermart.net/reviewworld/cgi-bin/dbman/db.cgi."

You could make the script available in text form and I could find the error for you. Copy the file to a web-accessible directory -- one where you would place html files -- and rename it to db_cgi.txt. Then come back here and tell me where it is. I'll run it through the Perl compiler and see what I can find.

Thanks - it's not laid in the usual user-friendly layout, but I hope it makes sense. To be honest, I've made no changes to this file since downloading. I'm with hypermart by the way:

All I needed to do was take one glance and I know you have a problem. Your file starts with


How can that be? This is not the file from the DBMan distribution.

Sorry, I FTP'd via DreamWeaver which added the HTML code. I can confirm that that is not part of the script

Yuck! Could you possibly open the document in WordPad and then save it as db_cgi.txt? The file is impossible to read.

Thanks.
