DBMan encountered...
 
DBMan encountered an internal error. Please enable debugging to view.

Yes, I feel shy because you provided so much info about this problem.

I have unzipped the files on my C drive.
I have uploaded with FTP PRO to make sure that I was on ASCII transfer mode when I transfered.

the db is located at:
http://209.153.207.242/cgi-bin/dbman/db.cgi

config.cfg:
$db_dir_url = "http://209.153.207.242/cgi-bin/dbman";
$db_debug = 0;

I have also tried this in another directory:
http://209.153.207.242/cgi-bin/dbman2/db.cgi
with its config.cfg:
$db_dir_url = "http://209.153.207.242/cgi-bin/dbman2";
$db_debug = 1;

This only difference I can see is that my permission mode are set to 777 (-rwxrwxrwx) for all my files(I cannot change that on my hosting server. I know that the command line
FTP software, the command "site chmod 0755 filename" should work or CUTEFTP but it doesn't work on this server.

It is interesting to note that I can run this little db:
http://209.153.207.242/cgi-bin/database.cgi

Thank you so much,
Guillaume,

Please read topic titled, "Re: DBMan Internal Error." That topic lists details on the most common errors made when getting started.

PS - The .cgi files cannot be viewed when they have the .cgi extension. You'll need to save the files as text files (default.cfg.txt) in order for the file to be viewed.

Hi,

I have rename my files and now they can be viewed at the following address:

http://209.153.207.242/cgi-bin/dbman/db.cgi.txt
http://209.153.207.242/cgi-bin/dbman/default.cfg.txt

Also, I didn't make any changes in other files and I believe that the hosting server is NT.

Guillaume,

Okay Guillaume, I didn't notice anything obviously wrong in the posted files. Can you double-check that this is the accurate path to perl on your system?
#!/usr/local/bin/perl

(Some severs have perl at #!/usr/bin/perl for example)

Okay, on checking further, the path to perl is the problem. This is the error message I received:
Can't open perl script "D:\home\DWW665\cgi-bin\dbman\db.cgi": No such file or directory

You might need to search thru the forums for topics of NT installation to see if there are specific issues on that platform.

Sorry I couldn't be more help at this time.
