My ISP uses NT. I have been on the phone with them all day in regards to getting the demo script to work. I cannot get the demo to come up to the log in screen I keep getting a network server user name and password. I have searched through the site, and also followed JP's tutorials for initial setup.

The files db.txt and default.txt are located at http://users.ilnk.com/toddc/cgi-bin/dbman/db.txt, and default.txt respectively.

Thanks

Change the following:


to the FULL absolute path including the drive on the server where your account is located, like the following:


Also your Perl Path is wrong...

Search this forum for Threads that talk about NT and DBMAN...There are more than one! I have written extensive codes to use on NT and I do not have the time nor patience to re-write them.

Uh...I believe that your ISP is incorrect.

It should be the following:


This worked with Perl 5.005 installed and also on NT 4.0, IIS 4.0.

My ISP states that the path to perl on their machines is C:\PERL. they have no BIN dir...

So with the PERL line do I put !#/PERL ?

Thank you very much for your help.

I redid the #!\perl//bin//perl and no luck..I still get the security box (non-dbman) asking for user name and password. I have uploaded the text files again in he same spot for you to verify the changes you recommended.

I really do appreciate the help.

Thanks

You have to take out the authorized box in that directory in order for you to use DBMAN. My assumption since you are on NT is that you have set up a sub web and password protected. Take off the password protection of your dbman directory.

In regards to turning off the password protction, just want to make sure that I will have to ask my ISP to turn off the security protection for that directory.

Thanks again

This my be a stupid question but doesn't the # in front of the #!\perl//bin//perl indicate that it will be ignored?

No it doesn't regarding your stupid question.



Yes...turn off your server security in that directory, so that people can use the authentication process in DBMAN!
