Hello,

I am hosting on hypermart
and I get this message from hypermart cgi error log.

Illegal character \015 (carriage return) at default.cfg line 33.

I get this message when i access the dbman url @
http://server6.hypermart.net/answerguy/cgi-bin/db.cgi?admin_display=1

DBMan encountered an internal error. Please enable debugging to view.

thanks for any assistance

hmmm, now it says Illegal character \015 (carriage return) at default.cfg line 2.


here is what line 2 says

$db_dir_url = "http://server6.hypermart.net/answerguy/cgi-bin";

whats wrong with this line?

Try using:

$db_dir_url = "http://answerguy.hypermart.net/cgi-bin";

This is how i have the setting for several databases. You should only need to use server6 in the url if you are using a secure server link.

Hope this helps

it still says Illegal character \015 (carriage return) at default.cfg line 2.


I changed line 2 to say
$db_dir_url = "http://answerguy.hypermart.net/cgi-bin";

i zipped all my dbman files to

please check it out thanks

I did a search in the forum and I came across the following thread that tells how another user solved this problem http://gossamer-threads.com/p/61135.

interesting, I'll check it out but i don't think hypermart gives telnet access to their servers.

What text editor are you using to edit your files?

JPD

one called notepad+

what should i use or what do you use?

Notepad+ isn't horrible, but it's better to use a text editor that's made for programming.

Programmer's File Editor is quite good and it's freeware. It's available at (among other places) http://download.cnet.com/. Search for Programmer's and it should be the first thing that comes up.

You may need to use a fresh copy of the default.cfg file so that no "illegal" characters will be in there.

solved the problem, thank you very much for everyone's help
