I'm just trying the basic demo install following the example @ http://www.jpdeni.com/dbman/

My ISP says the following:

to refer to your cgi scripts from within a html document you should use:
http://cgi.www.yourdomain.co.uk/cgi-bin/www.yourdomain.co.uk/your-script.pl
If you need to reference your docs directory from your script then use:

/docs/www.yourdomain.co.uk/your-file

I think I've done that.

When I try to acces the DB the browser says:

CGI ERROR

Hi Huw:

Reason: Can't locate http://www.e-em.com/cgi-bin/dbman/db.cgiwww.e-em.com/cgi-bin/www.e-em.com/dbman/html.pl in @INC

This line gives me the hint that you might have set your $db_script_path in db.cgi improperly. You have set $db_script_path to some URL when you should have set it to the directory where your dbman is.

Another thing is that this is really the fileman installation forum and not the dbman forum. If you post your problem in DBMan forum you will get help a lot faster since that is where the people in charge usually answers questions. On the other hand, FileMan forum is not as widely used and your questions may not get answered in a timely manner.

Cheers
