It looks like you don't have DBI/DBD modules installed for Perl. You'll need to get them to install it.

bugger.. i think they uninstalled them to stop ppl using ikonboard.. well here goes

btw.. are there 'words' and that can help persuage the webhost on putting those modules on?

edit: are these modules also required for DBMan SQL?

haw, why would they want to stop ppl from using ikonboard (or any Perl script which uses SQL)?

Yes, and also any Perl script which uses SQL.

shit... - excuse the lang.

according to them.. they found ikonboard (+mysql) using over 50% cpu.. (with 20 ppl online) and something about a swap file being messed up....

lucky my main website isnt with them.... where I use ikonboard, DBMan (non-sql), and links (non-sql)

would gtforums use as much resources?? if less, how much less (say with 20 users online)
