I started creating my own database and I am getting the following error.
Reason: Bad name after tle' at C:/INETPUB/WWWROOT/CGI-BIN/DBMAN/DBMAN/default.cfg line 69.
I renamed default.cfg to .txt at http://198.182.113.84/dbman/default.txt
I can't figure out what is wrong at that line. Not sure if this was the right forum. Any ideas. Thanks, D. Craig Rich

You have tons of Perl specified characters within your fields that are probably causing you problems.

Take out the following characters from your field names:


Also, your number fields should be specified as numer NOT number.

Hope this helps.

I took out the # and : charcters and also changed all the number to numer. Still gives the same error at the same line. Could it be a change needed in the html.pl?
Thanks

Nope...there is definitely a syntax error in default.cfg. Please set your debug option to 1 in your default.cfg file. Then post the COMPLETE error message you receive.

I changed the debug option to 1. The error can be seen at http://198.182.113.84 the main call or http://198.182.113.84/dbman/error.txt and the file is at http://198.182.113.84/dbman/default.txt

Hi there Look at the following


ID => [0, 'numer', 5, 8, 1, '', ''],
'National Comps' => [1, 'numer', 9, 9, 1, '', ''],
'Seating Preference' => [2, 'alpha', 0, 6, 1, 'Window', 'Window|Aisle'],
'Meal Preference' => [3, 'alpha', 0, 60, 1, '', ''],
'Harrah's Total Gold Member' => [4, 'numer', 11, 11, 0, '', ''],
'Rio's Play Rio Member' => [5, 'numer', 11, 11, 0, '', ''],
Title => [6, 'alpha', 3, 3, 0, '', ''],
First => [7, 'alpha', 26, 26, 1, '', ''],
MI => [8, 'alpha', 1, 1, 0, '', ''],
Last => [9, 'alpha', 26, 26, 1, '', ''],
'Job Title' => [10, 'alpha', 19, 19, 0, '', ''],
BirthdateMMDDYYYY => [11, 'numer', 8, 8, 1, '', ''],
'Company Name' => [12, 'alpha', 26, 26, 0, '', ''],
Gender => [13, 'alpha', 1, 1, 1, '', ''],
'Work Phone'

Some of your name variables dont have ' around them.

Try this it may be the answer.

Thanks guys. I got it going. Actually I found JP's Config program and did it that way. Thanks Again. Craig

Great! Glad you got it to work

mdj1,

You only need single quotes for fields that are two words. You do not have to put single quotes around one word field names.

BTW: You can also use underscores for fields with two or more words, like the following:
