Hi. First i am a newbie.
I install the program, control the CMOD, control the text-loadup, control the default.pl, install the debugging-flag.
And .. Get a server error 500 .. then i change the name from db.cgi to db.pl and ... get a error : DBman internal error.
In the readme-file is one file called 'auth' not auth.pl, i miss this file. Is this possible the problem ?
http://www.spufi.de/anfang/dbman is the path

Hello Ele, you need to doublecheck what files you have and what the filenames are (there is no default.pl for example). From the Readme.txt file included with the scripts, you should have:

You should find the following files in the archive and they
should have the following permissions

db.cgi (755) -rwxr--r--
html.pl (644) -rw-r--r--
auth.pl (644) -rw-r--r--
default.cfg (644) -rw-r--r--
default.pass (666) -rw-rw-rw-
default.count (666) -rw-rw-rw-
default.log (666) -rw-rw-rw-
default.db (666) -rw-rw-rw
auth (777) drwxrwxrwx
README.txt (644) -rw-r--r--

The second auth listed there is a folder. YOu should have both a folder named auth & a perl script named auth.pl. Check that you have the correct files and that they are installed in a directory authorized to run scripts.

Thanks. Now it works partly. I change the db.cgi in the default.cfg to db.pl. But... i get allways the error:
DBMan encountered an internal error. And i can work with the Database ! curious !

CGI ERROR
==========================================
Error Message : Debug Information
Script Location : /homepages/27/d19667036/htdocs/anfang/dbman/db.pl
Perl Version : 5.00502
Setup File : default.cfg

Ele, the message you are seeing is the default display when debugging is activated. If you disable debugging, the message will go away.

# Display Debugging Information (1 = Yes, 0 = No).
$db_debug = 0;

Ok...
Now it works fine. But i think there is a internal error inside...
Now i can create my on apllication around the database, thats what i wanted.
Thanks for the help and have a nice weekend !

Ele, if there were an error, you would see the error described in the area I've highlighted below. The script was simply reporting that debugging was activated.
