Really Stupid Novice Question!
I am trying to setup dbman to work on my linux system... I just installed linux and apache and am not even close to proficient in using either.. i tried to open up db.cgi and it showed me the actual text file (I also tried while sending some arguments to db.cgi) The cgi file is in cgi-bin directory and has chmod set correctly (as defined in the readme file)... i know that it's not a dbman or a perl problem but i can't figure out what to do... Any help??? (btw, db.cgi points to the correct location for Perl)

Thanks,
Abhik shahad@engin.umich.edu

Sounds like CGI isn't set up on your system. Make sure you've either got the directory db.cgi resides in ScriptAlias'd, or you've set up the server to run .cgi files in any directory (an option in the conf files).

Hope that helps,
