need help with permissions
ok I down loaded the cuteftp and changed everything in the idividual files that needed to be changed. I then went to change the permissions and could not get them changed. I was wondering if the tripod server doesnt allow them to be changed. I ran a test and came back with proxyserver error. everything is here:

1) FTP the files to a folder called dbman in your cgi-bin folder.

2) Then change the permission of the files as mentioned in the README file.

3) Change the variable configurations in the default.cfg.

You might want to learn alittle bit about Perl/CGI programming before going forward...there are some decent tutorials on the Web and also Perl for Dummies is a decent starter manual...
