Help!!!!!! I´m gone crazyyyyyy!!!!!
I do not know what I´m doing wrong with the installation process.

After 5 times trying install dbman on the server I still get Internal Server Error.

I have download db man and unzipped. After that, I have opened the default.cfg and changed URL to:

$db_dir_url = "http://www.redycomercio.com/cgi-bin/dbman";

After finding out the correct path to perl:

/usr/bin/perl

I have changed the first line of the db.cgi to:

#!/usr/bin/perl

I did created a new folder called dbman and uploded all the files using ASCII mode.

I did set all the permissions to each file and try to run the script but nothing. It gives me Server Internal Error.

I have changed the following comand in the db.cgi from:

$db_script_path = ".";

To:

$db_script_path = "";

and:

$db_script_path = "./";


but still nothing, it does not work to me!!!


I have set

$db_debug = 1;

on the defaul.cfg to desplay debugging information , but I still get the same Internal Server Error.

What can I do

Help. Please.
Can any one help me? I´m getting desperated.

Thank you

Let's see if we can figure this out.

First, change back--

$db_script_path = ".";

That shouldn't cause an internal server error, but it might cause problems later on.

Have you installed any other cgi scripts on this server?

Are you sure you are allowed to use subdirectories in your cgi-bin? Some servers set things up so you cannot have subdirectories. (I went through that myself.)

If you're not sure, move all the DBMan scripts up one level, directly into the cgi-bin. You'll need to adjust the .cfg file and reset the permissions, too.

That's all I can think of right now. You seem to have covered all of my other ideas.
