500 error using nph-setup.cgi
Hi, I tried to install my DBman SQL Version and got

a 500 Servererror....

I got no readme with the package and it should be the same like the old DB-man Unsure ( I asked per mail)

I used chmod 755 for the nph-setup.cgi - file and tried some other chmods Wink

Whatīs going wrong?

by the way the programms works fine, I can log in with admin/admin and there are no problems

as long as the database is not needed (there are no tables for sure). So the paths etc. should be ok!

Are you on a shared server?
There could be many reasons for a 500, but a common reason is exceeding a limit (eg: for memory allocation or CPU time) imposed by your web host. If that happens, one or all of the current processes may be killed before completion.

Itīs a shared server, but there is enought CPU Time for many applications...

For example I get to the limits, when I count matches for 20 categories in a DB-Man database with 1000 enties...

So I count 20 * 1000 in one process and it works ;D

This nph-setup.cgi setup isnīt very large and should not cause problems.

I found another topic about this problem. Someone asked for the Chmods, but the answer was deleted by an Administrator. Why?

I think you should contact GT support, as they must have a lot of experience installing on shared servers. Even if you prefer to do it yourself, they could probably help you to diagnose your problems.

Yesterday, when I tried DBman sql, I hoped I get the problem solved faster in the forum Wink

So Iīll follow your tip and ask the support...

Make sure that the nph script is 755 as well as the directory has been set to 755. If it's a shared server, cgi-wrap is picky about permissions like that.

Try to locate your error log and see what it reports, 500 server errors are just what the user sees.
