Have you modified db_utils.pl?

Did you upload it is ASCII?

I haven't touched the db_utils.pl other than setting the permissions. Should I have? (and I did upload it as ASCII). Any suggestions.

The permission of the file does not need to be changed...it should be chmod 644...

This problem has occurred in this past and the fix was uploading the file again to your server in ASCII mode...I know, you already said you uploaded it in ASCII...upload the file again and leave the permissions at 644.

Regards,

Eliot Lee

I've tried uploading it again (and again) and I've set the permissions every way possible... and still get the same error.

any other ideas??

Read the error message again, guys:
Make sure you have Template.pm (case sensitive!) in your admin directory, that you uploaded in ASCII mode, it's chmod 644 and that the last line reads:
--Drew

Well spotted!
