permission errors
I keep getting this error and I"ve set them as directed in the read me file but I noticed in the forum somewere that for the db.cgi it was different?
Is this correct? If so, I still do not have it working.
db.cgi -rwxr-xr-x

I've tried many different paths as well using ~aurora/bin/dbman/db.cgi or usr/cust/aurora/bin/dbman.cgi
I keep getting my permissions not set right?

drwxrwxrwx 2 aurora customer 512 Feb 26 16:58 auth

The permissions look correct, did you upload the files in ASCII mode?

A permission denied error wouldn't be caused by uploading in binary.

Nena, make sure you are not including the /dbman.cgi as part of the file path. Your path should be something like this (remember, no trailing slash):

usr/cust/aurora/bin/dbman
/usr/cust/aurora/bin/dbman

Try putting this in a file called path.cgi and upload it to your cgi-bin and chmod it to 755.

#!/usr/bin/perl

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print $ENV{'DOCUMENT_ROOT'};


This will tell you the path to your html directory and then just add on /bin/dbman or whatever.

Boy, I've tried everything and still not working. I even have the full path to apache/bin and I"m just about ready to try that. I did that little path.cgi and it's the same path I've been using. I just sent out another email to my isp here for someone to look it over. Once before something screwed up and I couldn't run scripts but don't think that's the problem cause i have scripts running fine right now.

ok, now I"m passed the permissions and now I'm getting the directories. I'm thinking I need to edit something now? Bit of a newbie to this type of script. http://www.ssimicro.com/~aurora/dbman/

The url you provided goes to a 404 error page.

To call your script you would use:

http://www.ssimicro.com/~aurora/dbman/db.cgi?db=default&uid=default

if the script is located in the directory you stated.

Hope this helps
