I don't get what I'm doing wrong...I have debugging on, but it keeps saying that I need to turn on debugging. Other than that, what else am I doing wrong? My default.cfg file is at http://www.seawolfearth2025.f2s.com/dbman/default.txt . My db.cgi file is at http://www.seawolfearth2025.f2s.com/dbman/db.txt . Thank you for your help. I need this database up ASAP. Thanx

Are you receiving any specific error messages?

I wasn't able to run your script to see what was happening, as the file was not found.

If all that you are seeing is the debugging info, just set it to off in the .cfg file.

You also will want to remove the following field settings in your .cfg file as you are not using these in your field definitions:

# Select fields.
Category => 'General,Configuration Management,Project Management,Process Improvement,Standards,Testing & Quality Assurance',
Type => 'Web,Newsgroup,Mailing List,FTP,Gopher'

# Radio fields. .
%db_radio_fields = ( Validated => 'Yes,No' );

# Checkbox fields.
%db_checkbox_fields = ( Popular => 'Yes' );

Your field names need to be either one word (RealName or Real_Name) OR you need to put single quotes around them if they contain any spaces (ie, 'Real Name' 'ICQ Number').

Hope that solves your problem...
