Problem Installing
I am having problems. My db.cgi file can be located at http://www.urbanauction.com/dbman/db.cgi.txt
and my default.cfg file at
http://www.urbanauction.com/dbman/default.cgi.txt

No, I mean in the .cfg file itself. You have

Code:
# URL of the directory dbman resides in. No Trailing Slash Please.
$db_dir_url = "http://www.urbanauction.com/dbman";

I tried accessing

http://www.urbanauction.com/dbman/db.cgi

and I got "File Not Found."

PS Are you saying that you just renamed the files so they could be seen from the web? Probably not the best idea, if so. Part of helping you to debug is being able so see what it's doing, especially since you didn't give us any error messages or anything that you received.

Looks like your $db_dir_url is set wrong in your .cfg file. I tried it and got "File Not Found."

No, its the right address. The reason it didn't work is probably because I renamed the files to .txt files.

I don't find a problem with your db.cgi file, nor with your default.cfg file. A couple of questions: Have you changed the html.pl file at all from the original? Are you sure you can run db.cgi from that directory? (Most of the time, it needs to be run from a cgi-bin.)

If I put it in my cgi-bin, I get a 404 error, file not found, for some reason.

When you put it in your cgi-bin, did you change the default.cfg file to indicate that you had moved it?

I guess I've exhausted my expertise on this one. With any luck someone else will have an answer for you.

Sorry.
