DB Man with Personal Webserver on Win 98
I realise you have had this before, from doing a few searches I have noticed the error I am getting but nothing works.

CGI ERROR
==========================================
Error Message : Error loading required libraries.
Check that they exist, permissions are set correctly and that they compile.
Reason: Can't locate default.cfg in @INC (@INC contains: . C:/Perl/lib C:/Perl/site/lib .) at c:\wwwroot\cgi-bin\od\dbase\db.cgi line 51.

Script Location : c:\wwwroot\cgi-bin\od\dbase\db.cgi
Perl Version : 5.006
Setup File : default.cfg

This happens if the path to db.cgi is "" "." "http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/od/dbase" "c:\wwwroot\cgi-bin\od\dbase" and "c:/wwwroot/cgi-bin/od/dbase"

I am using PWS as a server with the root being http://127.0.0.1 or c:\wwwroot

Will I have to use Xitami or Apache I don't mind but I like PWS just running in the background.

Thanks for your help in advance

Try setting the line $db_script_path = "."; (in db.cgi) to the full path of your DBMan directory. (if you haven't already done so)

I run PWS at home, and had an awful time trying to get UltraBoard running. In the end, I had to specify full paths, as windows doesnt seem to understand a directory addressed as ./db.cgi

Thank you it now works, to clear it up for others I have found that it works if you put the full path in db.cgi and the http:// path in the cfg file.
