Help.. I know like nothing on about cgi.
the installation instructions where fairly easy.

but 2 main questions
how do i call it out to view it.. i just set the paths and left pretty much the rest to defaults.. so i could see if i can get it to work..

i read something about uploading in ascii but dont have a clue how to set the access codes while uploading i have both ie ftp access and ftp ws_ ftp95le can someone elighten me please.. like real detail instructions..

i can access anything..

I'd recommend you check out JPDeni's excellent DBMan tutorials at http://www.jpdeni.com/dbman/

It has many in-depth tutorials which are great for people just getting started with DBMan.

Good luck!

well ya ive followed the tuts word for word and im not getting anything.
is there a way to look at the stuff on my harddrive instead of server.
is this correct http://uwgl.landwarrior.org/cgi-bin/dbman/db.cgi?db=default

and what auth code should my cgi-bin and dbman folders be?

one nore question: does this program just make links to files located on the web or does it download them somewhere on the server? if it dl them where does it d/l to..

i still havnt gotten it to work at all not even an error message
;
heres path to a text file for viewing
http://uwgl.landwarrior.org/dbcgi.txt

http://uwgl.landwarrior.org/defaultcfg.txt

please please please someone help

ive read every message relating to this problem i can find. ive tried everyones suggestions and i thank you all for them.. but my error 500 will not go away. i dont even get a error message or txt from the debuging mode. its like there is no files there at all.

my space prvider says he has the newest perl.

question what auth code should the cgi-bin and the dbman dir be im grasping at straws here..

i have a link to my setup on my prior post!

:(

In db.cgi, set the $db_script_path variable back to it's default value.
eg: $db_script_path = "."; (it's very rare that you should have to set the full path)

Also, you'll need to check that you have the correct path to perl at the top (if you haven't already)

If you're not sure, try setting it to #!/usr/local/bin/perl and see if that helps.
