Error including libraries: Can't locate /cgi-bin/admin/db.pl in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/libdata/perl5/5.00503/i386-bsdos /usr/libdata/perl5/5.00503 /usr/libdata/perl5/site_perl/i386-bsdos /usr/libdata/perl5/site_perl /usr/libdata/perl5/site_perl/i386-bsdos/include .) at admin.cgi line 28.

Make sure they exist, permissions are set properly, and paths are set correctly.

you defined yor paths wrong in links.cfg

--mark

Thats not always the problem..Everythin is right in the links.cfg file

As mentioned in other Threads, you need to make sure that you have properly mapped the links.cfg file in the require statement in the admin.cgi. Try using the ABSOLUTE path to the links.cfg file.

I'm getting the same error as 'Prime... I cannot figure it out.

This is what the admin.cgi file reads:


I have not found anything in the links.cfg file that reads db_lib_path
There is db_script_path. Is this the same thing?

Uh...Yea...this variable is defined in the links.cfg file.

Look towards the bottom of the links.cfg file...See the following:


Uh...that is where it is defined.

But in order to pull that variable from the links.cfg, you may have to use the complete absolute path in the first require line:

ok
since posting I figured out that part... feel kind of dumb now for even posting it...
I've figured out how to fix the majority of my errors... just overlooked a few things. have to go in and redo a few of my own doings...

Thanks for your help,

Make sure that you have the $db_script_path variable set to the COMPLETE ABSOLUTE PATH to where your admin files are located in the links.cfg file, since if you look further down in the links.cfg file, you will see the following codes:

I have looked through the postings of this thread, as I seem to have hit a similar problem (not just with db.pl but with all files using the $db_lib_path variable)

I am testing under PWS4 (Win98) path is set OK in links.cfg, perl debugger gives correct path for $db_lib_path, but somehow the error persists.

Solution change all references to $db_lib_path to the complete path (as described above for links.cfg) and it works.

This means going through every cgi/pl file and making the change, surely that is NUTS?

Eliot: any suggestions as to whether I am missing something (sorry to appear thick!)

Thanks
