Windows 2000
I have some experience with DBMan on Linux with great success...attempting to install on a W2000 server with IIS and Active Perl. I have followed AstroMan's helpful hints and I seem to have the cgi-bin alias set up properly but when I attempt to execute I get to the directory and the file attempts to copy rather than execute. I have checked permissions... I don't have much 2000 experience, any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

John

Did you set the $db_script_path variable correctly in your db.cgi script???

It should be something like:

Code:

$db_script_path = "C:/InetPub/wwwroot/youraccount/cgi-bin/dbman";


Windows servers do not interpret "." very well...
