I'll give up!

Thank you for your support but after approx. 12 hours of intensive modifications etc. I'll give up. Your demo worked fine however on my server. This time I got an 500 server error.

I have put the the files in txt format on:
www.business-partner.com/default.txt and
www.business-partner.com/db.txt

full path to my domain on the server is:
/home/www/business-partner/cgi-bin/dbman

All files chmod to suggestions.

My head is exploding so I'll take a break.

Time is 00:48 here in Brazil and its about 30 degrees celcius outside. Goodnight.

Try the following in your default.cfg file...Change the following codes:

Code:
# URL of the directory dbman resides in. No Trailing Slash Please. 
$db_dir_url     = "http://www.business-partner.com/cgi-bin/dbman"; 
# URL of dbman.     
$db_script_url  = $db_dir_url . "/db.cgi"; 
# Full Path and File name of the database file. 
$db_file_name   = $db_script_path .  "/database/default.db"; 
# Full path and file name of the counter file. 
$db_id_file_name = $db_script_path . "/counter/default.count"; 
# Full path and file name of the authorization directory. 
$auth_dir       = $db_script_path .  "/auth"; 
# Full path and file name of the password file. 
$auth_pw_file   = $db_script_path .  "/password/default.pass"; 
# Full path and file name of the log file. 
$auth_log_file  = $db_script_path .  "/log/default.log"; 
# Full path and file name of the html routines. 
require           $db_script_path .  "/html/html.pl";

To the following:

Code:
# URL of the directory dbman resides in. No Trailing Slash Please. 
$db_dir_url     = "http://www.business-partner.com/cgi-bin/dbman"; 
# URL of dbman.     
$db_script_url  = $db_dir_url . "/db.cgi"; 
# Full Path and File name of the database file. 
$db_file_name   = "/home/www/business-partner/cgi-bin/dbman/database/default.db"; 
# Full path and file name of the counter file. 
$db_id_file_name = "/home/www/business-partner/cgi-bin/dbman/counter/default.count"; 
# Full path and file name of the authorization directory. 
$auth_dir = "/home/www/business-partner/cgi-bin/dbman/auth"; 
# Full path and file name of the password file. 
$auth_pw_file = "/home/www/business-partner/cgi-bin/dbman/password/default.pass"; 
# Full path and file name of the log file. 
$auth_log_file  = "/home/www/business-partner/cgi-bin/dbman/log/default.log"; 
# Full path and file name of the html routines. 
require  "/home/www/business-partner/cgi-bin/dbman/html/html.pl";

BTW: Again...please add replies to your Threads RATHER THAN posting duplicate redundant similar the same content, etc. Threads!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you.

I really hope this helps.

Re: I'll give up! In reply to

I am having similar problems. I keep getting this line no matter what I do. I have debugging turned on to help locate the error.

Reason: Can't locate http://www.krawiec.net/dbman/html.pl in @INC (@INC contains: http://www.krawiec.net/dbman /usr/local/lib/perl5/sun4-solaris/5.00404 /usr/local/lib/perl5 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/sun4-solaris /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at default.cfg line 51.

I have followed the setup to the letter and used the threads here to locate any problems. No luck.

Re: I'll give up! In reply to

And like mentioned in other Threads, we need to see your codes to help you....

Save the following files as TEXT files:

default.cfg
db.cgi

like

default.txt
db.txt

Then upload them to a publicly accessible directory, and then provide us the URL where these files are located.

Re: I'll give up! In reply to

Thank you for your reply. I have already tried this solution that you suggested with the same result - 500 error. Nothing seems to right with this script. I have done everything by the book and even doublechecked at JBDenis Dbman-ual to make sure everything was right.

I guess I have to look somewhere else for a solution that can work for me at least.

Again, thank you for your effort.

Re: I'll give up! In reply to

Welp, contact your server administrator for assistance. There could be a problem with your Perl package or web server that is causing problems in executing the DBMAN script.

If you are not using at least 5.004 Perl in your server with current Perl Modules, then this is the causing factor of your problems.

Re: I'll give up! In reply to

Could you please check my default.cfg and db.cgi located at:

www.business-partner.com/default.cfg
www.business-partner.com/db.txt

Maybe the definition of the database is setup wrong - i dont know anymore.

I have tried everything. My sysadm tells me that the error is not on the system as the path to perl and the cgi-bin is working perfectly.

Re: I'll give up! In reply to

I have already looked at your files! Are these newer versions of the files I've already looked at?
