Has anyone installed dbman on a Cobalt RaQ 3 server? There were some discussions in the forums about Cobalt, but they were dealing with Links and not dbman... If you've installed dbman on a cobalt raq 3 - then please help!

I've setup dbman before, but never on a cobalt server - so I am at a loss as to why everything *seems* to run fine until you try to login in in any way -- default users (like admin/admin) do not work, and I tried:

1.Erase all entries in the password file.
2.Set $auth_allow_default = 1;
3.Set @auth_default_permissions = (1,1,1,1,1);
4.Go to db.cgi?uid=default
5.Go to admin and add your own users.

and that did not work either.

I tried the usual permissions, then I tried other permissions to no avail.

Someone mentioned problems with Links and Cobalt relating to cgiwrapping..
and that a possible solution would be to add the path to cgiwrap to the cgi script.

My current path to db.cgi is:

/home/sites/site14/web/content

How would one add the path to cgiwrap to this path in the db.cgi script
if that is a possible solution?

I've searched everywhere I could think of for a solution (gossamer-threads, cobalt, google, altavista, zdnet, cnet, etc.) and have not been able to figure out what to do... so ANY help and/or suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thank you!

Hi there,

I managed to get it working, but I could not get this to run with cgi-wrap.

I created a .htaccess file and entered :

Options +ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
AddHandler cgi-script .pl

This will then work.....

Cheers

My database is on the Cobalt RaQ3 server and it works just fine without doing anything. The $db_script_path = "." is right. I don't see anything wrong with that.

The server should be already configured to execute perl/cgi files in httpd.conf....you shouldn't have to create a htaccess file to do it.
