cgi error debug info
having nothing better to do, I've been fooling around in DBMAN. It has a variable in default.cfg that controls printing of cgi debug info

Code:
# Display Debugging Information (1 = Yes, 0 = No).
$db_debug = 0;


While looking thru the links 2 admin.cgi I round the following at the bottom

Code:
# &cgierr("Done"); # Uncomment this line for Debugging...
# Will tack on form variables and environment variables
# to the end of every page. Quite Useful.


interesting...

But there must have been something interesting for you to say it :)

yep, I can think of a few...Tongue

first, it is not in the links.cfg as it is dbman...

second, in over 2 years on the board, I've never heard it mentioned for any of the problems listed herein. Of course, I haven't visited the installation forum often ( whatever minimal perl skills I possess, they do not run to installation), but there probably have been some posts on the Customization forum where it could have been used. I assume that it has been extensively used, I've just never seen it.

Third is the information itself that it provides - the reason why perl errored out.

I'm sure you guys could enlighten me as to other "interesting" aspects of this feature!
