I know, this problem has been addressed numerous times. I've read all the responses in the forum and am still having no luck. Believe me, this was my last resort.
Here's what I've got:
I've uploaded all the files into my /cgi-bin/ directory. Which is running the latest version of Perl.
I've configured db.cgi to the proper path for Perl "!/usr/bin/perl5" I assume this is the true path because I can run another perl script, TGMail, using this path.
I've modified default.cgi and set $db_dir_url to the directory that dbman resides in "'http://www.onsiteoffsite.com/cgi-bin'" I left out the default "'../dbman'" because my files were not placed in such a directory, they're all in /cgi-bin/. I tried placing them in a directory named /dbman/, changing the variable, no help. I've tried leaving my files in /cgi-bin/ and leaving /dbman at the end of the variable, still no help. I've tried placing all my files in a different directory (i.e. cgidbman), changing the variable, and again, nothing, it tries to download db.cgi when I do that.
I uploaded all files in ASCII using both WS_FTP and LeapFTP.
I set all permissions as explained in Readme.txt. Here's where the problem may be. My ISP uses a Windows NT server. As far as I know, chmod only works on UNIX servers. WS_FTP lets me know this, LeapFTP doesn't seem to care.
I don't have a file named ".htaccess" or anything similar to it so I couldn't possibly try that.
I've tried changing the $def_dir_path variable and it didn't help, same error every time.
I'm near my wits end. If anyone has any other solutions to this problem, or perhaps some insight as to whether using NT is a problem, please respond.
