Installation CRISIS !!!
Please help!! My head is hurting now Frown I have done all that needs to be done 10 times over hoping the probs might go ... i.e

1) All files uploaded as ASCII
2) All permissions have been altered accordingly
3) Perl Path altered on db.cgi
4) URL altered in default.cfg

But it don't work !! Demon.Net have a helpfull debuging method by giving compilation errors by simply altering the file db.cgi to xx-db.cgi . The results are in the following URL
http://www.samaj.com/dbman/the_error.txt

Other files which you require to see are:
http://www.samaj.com/dbman/db.cgi.txt
http://www.samaj.com/dbman/default.cfg.txt

The cgi files are located at the following url
http://www.samaj.com/cgi-bin/samaj/dbman/

Physical location I believe to be :
/docs/samaj ---for normal files
/cgi-bin/samaj ---for cgi files

I certainly hope you can help, I haven't been this baffled for a long long time, this problem has certainly got me cornered.

Just wanna point out, this is for a non-profit organisation.

Hope tohear from you soon

One problem I see is the first line of your db.cgi file. The Perl Path is quite strange and I would gander that is causing the problem.

Change the Perl Path to the following:

Code:
#!/bin/perl

Another problem is the $db_script_path. You need to use one of the following:

Code:
$db_script_path = ".";

OR

Code:
$db_script_path ="/wwwpublic/./v/s/a/m/cgi-bin/samaj/dbman";

The second one is the complete physical path not the virtual path to your DBMAN files.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

I looked at your error file, but I didn't understand it.

Could you upload your edited db.cgi and default.cfg files so I can see what you've done?

I downloaded your file and ran it through the compiler and there were no syntax errors in it.

Both changes done, I still get a 'Server Error' with no error code next to it.

Have you sen the_error.txt file ? It seems to show errors in the actual program, however this may be due to having an incorrect path.

I hope there are some other suggestions out there, Smile
