Hi Mike, The 1st one is solved. How could I forget AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
On the second one I could have gone the easy way and install from MCPAN but I like your alternative better. You know installing the debian modules. So I went and installed following: safe:/# dpkg -l | grep dbi ii libdbd-mysql 0.7.1-3.0.1 MySQL database server driver for libdbi ii libdbi-perl 1.46-6 Perl5 database interface by Tim Bunce ii libdbi0 0.7.2-1 Database Independent Abstraction Layer for C ii libdbix-cgi-pe 0.06-5 CGI Extension for libdbix-easy-perl ii libdbix-dataso 0.02-3 Database-independent create and drop functio ii libdbix-easy-p 0.15-2 Easy to Use DBI Interface safe:/# dpkg -l | grep dbd ii libdbd-mysql 0.7.1-3.0.1 MySQL database server driver for libdbi ii libdbd-mysql-p 2.9006-1 A Perl5 database interface to the MySQL data ALSO: libclass-accessor-perl 0.19-2 [21.8kB] libclass-data-inheritable-perl 0.02-1 [7014B] libdbix-contextualfetch-perl 1.02-2 [8116B] libclass-whitehole-perl 0.04-1 [6404B] libima-dbi-perl 0.33-1 [25.5kB] libclass-trigger-perl 0.09-1 [11.9kB] libuniversal-moniker-perl 0.08-1 [7114B] libclass-dbi-perl 0.96-1 [92.3kB] But it is still not working and I am thinking that maybe MCPAN installs more then just these when you ask for DBI and DBD::mysql. I searched the Debian apt cache for dbi and dbd but the list was very long so I went and deleted everything which couldn't be. Like RUBI, sqlite, sybase, VCS, cvs, PDF ... lots of stuff believe me. Below is your list of possibilities, I was wondering if you could skim through it real quick and mark what DBMA needs. That should make it also easier for the next Debian fan, and there is lots of us ;) Thanks for being so sweet about all this Mike Demi ========= dbi dbd short list / I know it's still long :( ============= libclass-dbi-plugin-perl -
