When I unzip the file, is the index.html file supposed to be kept in an auth folder inside of the dbman folder in the cgi-bin?

It unzips all the files to the same directory and there is no auth directory.

Please advise

You have to create your OWN /auth/ directory underneath the /cgi-bin/dbman/ directory!

Oh, I did that, but what permissions need to be set on the index.html? the auth directory itself has the permissions set at 777 and the index.html at 640

Please Advise

also Eliot... what permissions need to be set on the dbman file... I figured it was the same as the cgi-bin, so I set it at 755...Is this right??

Uh...You do not need the index.html file. That blank file is only used for avoiding directory listing of your cgi-bin directory.

What permission did you set the db.cgi file?
Yes...it should be 755 (rwxr--r--). Read the README file. If English is not your native language, then use a translation program to translate the README file.

Most, if not all, your questions can be answered with the README FILE!

OK Eliot.... now, for some crazy reason it's prompting me for a location to save the program on my hard drive when i type in...

http://www.printec.net/cgi-bin/dbman/db.cgi

The code reflects as follows:

$db_dir_url = "http://www.printec.net/cgi-bin/dbman";

Also, Are there any other programs that need to reflect a path to perl?? The only one that I have with it is the db.cgi file.

The code reflects as follows:

#!/bin/perl

&

$db_script_path = "";


This stuff is driving me crazy...

You have the wrong Perl path in the db.cgi file and that is the only file that you execute via the browser, and thus the only file that you need to have the CORRECT Perl path!

Check with your hosting company and find out what your path is!
