This is as far as I've been able to get. The error is here www.eliteguardsofnorrath.com/cgi-bin/eqrdb/db.pl?signup_form=1
I have checked the permissions on default.cfg and I have also tried re-uploading it making sure to specify Ascii mode for upload. Does anyone have any other ideas

The db.pl file in text form is here www.eliteguardsofnorrath.com/cgi-bin/eqrdb/db_pl.txt
The default.cfg in text form is here www.eliteguardsofnorrath.com/cgi-bin/eqrdb/default_cfg.txt

Thanks

The error must be within your .cfg file as the error when trying to login gives:

Reason: Can't locate d:\html\users\eliteguardsofnorrathcom\html\cgi-bin\eqrdb/html.pl at d:\html\users\eliteguardsofnorrathcom\html\cgi-bin\eqrdb/default.cfg line 49.
Compilation failed in require at d:\html\users\eliteguardsofnorrathcom\html\cgi-bin\eqrdb\db.pl line 53.

Notice right before the file names the slash is going in a different direction?

Looks like you've got it working(?)... what was your solution to the problem?

Yes, after trying over and over. Wiping out the files, installing to another server I had, loading with 2 different FTP programs. This is what finally worked.

In the db.pl file I did set the db_script_path to this
$db_script_path = "d:\\html\\users\\eliteguardsofnorrathcom\\html\\cgi-bin\\eqrdb";
I had originally tried
$db_script_path = "http://www.eliteguardsofnorrath.com/cgi-bin/eqrdb";
each time I changed my script_path I went through and changed the $db_dir_url in my .cfg files to be the same way. One time I forgot to do this and only changed the script_path and it suddenly worked. As many different things as I had tried and checked and tried and checked I really don't know if this fixed it or if there was some little syntax problem somewhere all along. I don't think it was a syntax issue because I started from scratch on all the $db variables several times.

Things I did learn from the forum (applies to setting up on an NT Box with IIS):
1. You must change the db.cgi to db.pl (don't forget to change it in your default.cfg)
2. You have to add the $db_iis = 1; into you db.pl
3. The debug thing is weird. I had to set $db_debug = 1; in my db.pl file before it would give me any error messages. Doing this in the default.cfg which is suggested many times had no effect.

Oh well, it was 2 days of off and on hair pulling, but it's working now and so the customization can begin. /sigh

Thanks for all the help

Just FYI unless you put

$db_debug = 1

on the top of the .cfg file above the section:

# File and URL's

it will not check for errors within the .cfg file.
