Uh...Look at the README file...See where it states the Permission of files and directories???

Change the permission of the /auth/ directory to 777 (rwxrwxrwx). You can change the permissions via the Windows Explorer or via FTP.

i've finally succeeded to get into the demo db and now on my way to create my own database
btw, my thanks to Eliot...

Try using JPDeni's Configurator:

www.jpeni.com/dbman/

BTW: There are a few bugs in the program like missing right brackets. So, be aware. But this program will help you set-up your default.cfg file and html.pl file.
