Hey everyone. I just downloaded mysqlman. I'm having a few problems installing it. Everytime I try and open up the mysql.cgi file in my browser, I get the 500 error message. I'm not that familiar with this so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance guys.

1) Did you change the permission of mysql.cgi to 755 (rwxr-xr-x)?

2) Did you make sure that the PERL PATH in the first line after the shebang character (#!) is set to your PERL path?

3) Did you make sure that all the variable configurations for the templates, url, etc. are correct?

If you answered no to any or all of these questions, I would check the following:

- Permission of the cgi script (mysql.cgi)
- Perl path in the mysql.cgi
- Variable configurations in the mysql.cfg

Since you got an Internal Server Error, I think you may have forgotten to change the permission of the .cgi script, since MySQLMan has built-in de-bugging messages if there are other problems than Internal Server Error with the script. Getting that error typical means a permission file problem.

Ok....I did all those.......but now I get this message when trying to open up mysql.cgi in my browser.....

Error loading required libraries

Reason: Can't locate DBI.pm in @INC

What does that exactly mean?

It means the DBI perl module isnt installed.

Whoever has root access (normally your host) will have to install it.
