Unable to open log file
BlushHeeeeeelp!!!

I thought I could just do it but this is what I've been getting in the past 24 hours. I'm getting frustrated.

DBMan encountered an internal error. CGI ERROR==========================================Error Message : unable to open log file: ./default.log.

Try putting all the dbman files in the cgi-bin and not in a sub-directory. Else you would need to extend the permissions from the cgi-bin to the sub-directories.

It appears that you were able to get the script to execute, just not to write to the log file, is that right?

The script will not execute because it sees connecting the log file as serious script error. I can not go beyond admin login page.

Well, I'm sure it has to do with the permissions on the log file, but not sure I know how to fix it on a windows server.

you could do turn-off logging in the config file temporarily;

# Enable (1) or disable (0) logging.
$auth_logging = 0;

Here are a few links I used in the past;
