Check the syntax of the script:

Code:

perl -c db.cgi


And also enable de-bugging by setting the $db_debug variable to 1.

Code:

$db_debug = 1;


And also check the file permissions of db.cgi and the other files. REFER to the README file for instructions on what permissions should be set.

OR search the DBMAN forums for file permissions.

OR go to the following web site:

http://www.jpdeni.com/dbman/

And read the tutorials.

And then check the Resource section of this site for helpful answers to Frequently Aasked Questions and also other DBMAN web sites that may help you.

Ok ,, I dled the latest version of the database (mine was different?) anyhow .. few more ?'s

this line..
# URL of the directory dbman resides in. No Trailing Slash Please.
$db_dir_url = "http://penguin/alex/dbman";
what path goes in there?
http://www.harpn.com/cgi-bin
http://cgi-bin
it looks like no server addy is defined is that correct?
and the line you say to modify perl -c wehre is that?

here's what I got:
$db_dir_url = "http://www.DOT.com/cgi-bin/db";

the db is what I use for the dbman folder. so I guess you could use

$db_dir_url = "http://www.harpn.com/cgi-bin/db";
too, if you wanted, and put all your dbman files,auth folder, and scripts into the db folder -- or even change the db to dbman.

hope this helps
