Re: CGI and DBI

If you're getting timeouts, maybe it just takes too long? Try running the script from the command line, to see if it actually works at all?

Hi, I can run the script from the command line which runs successfully after about 4 seconds. I thought the issue was with my personal firewall but I have switched that off now and that has made no difference.	[reply]

Did you do as I suggested and trim your script down to just display a message and NOT do the database stuff? Doing this will reveal whether your problem is webserver permissions related. Get your bare-bones cgi script (that just displays a message) to work in the browser first, and THEN try adding in the database stuff.	[reply]

Hi, I tried the trimmed down version of the code and this works ok. Thanks	[reply]
