Help, ready to call it "QUITS"
I'm not the best with cgi but I always got them working. Not this time. I've gone over your past years listing posted here. Read alot of them but still can't get db working. All files are there and set to the right permissions.
db.cgi (755) -rwxr-xr-x
html.pl (644) -rw-r--r--
auth.pl (644) -rw-r--r--
default.cfg (644) -rw-r--r--
default.pass (666) -rw-rw-rw-
default.count (666) -rw-rw-rw-
default.log (666) -rw-rw-rw-
default.db (666) -rw-rw-rw
auth (777) drwxrwxrwx
README.txt (644) -rw-r--r--

but still no go. Been working on this for the past 1.5 weeks. My site is hosted by hypermart which has always been good in the past. I would appreciate any help you can give me. You can view all files @
http://www.pccomputersplus.com/sample/dbman/
there all there. In text format to.

Since you have your files and permissions set-up properly, it could be something with your web account. I would recommend contacting Hypermart and ask for their assistance.

Okay.

Hope this helps:

In your default.cfg file, you have to set the $db_dir_url variable to a VIRTUAL URL, not the physical path on your server. So, it should look like the following:

Code:
$db_dir_url = "http://pccomputersplus.hypermart.net/cgi-bin/dbman";

(NO TRAILING SLASH)

Your other files look fine to me.

Pete:

I have successfully installed DBMan on hypermart on two different servers.

The post above was correct in saying that you should install this under your cgi-bin directory.

cgi-bin/dbman

in your config file for the path use:


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


If you are still unable to get this installed, send me an email and I will install it on the server for you.
