*AddHandler cgi-script .cgi *
Demi:
Based on your information I only see two small missing steps.
The first is with Apache and the second is missing PERL modules.
Failure of CGI execution is a problem of your Apache configuration. I don't
see PERL's database modules either so in that order:
1) A handler directive for ".cgi" extensions is needed.
Somewhere in your httpd.conf there must be the following
LoadModule cgi_module mod_cgi.so
#unless you compiled Apache with mod_cgi.so (often the case)
#And the critical problem you have:
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
2) If you have a modern PERL installation (your 5.8.8-4 is good choice!)
you need only add DBI and DBD::mysql (or pg) to run DBMA.
To install DBI / DBD open a console window and invoke CPAN and get the
modules like this:
perl -MCPAN -e shell
CPAN> install DBI
Once installed get DBD like this:
CPAN> install DBD::mysql
In the alternative you can install both these modules with your Debian
package manager.
best...

Hello Demi:
Welcome to the DBMail fold and congrats on your new
installation/migration. Sounds like you have jumped in with
both feet :o) bravo.
Hello Mike,
Yes I guess I did jump in with both feed didn't I.
I have a little problem which isn't all that unusual when I have to
deal with perl. I installed ISPMan once and it took me like week to do
so. Back then I said to my self if I can install this I can install
anything perl and here we are again having problems with DBMA. You
perl guys make great stuff and so did you. I tested your demo and it
is just great.
However perl stuff seam to be a pain to install AND why does it have
to look so ugly?
What I also don't understand is why don't you guys advertice this
script on the dbMail site. I would have never even started with cyrus
if I had seen this.
Here is my problem. Like I said I am on Debian Sarge (Mostly Sarge anyway).
Below is a list of perl modules installed via apt-get. I have also
done the apache2 auth.
However when I go to DBMA after auth I just get to see the script the
cgi doesn't get executed.
Any ideas what the problem could be?
