FSDbase problems...

[Adamh]

Hi,

I have had someone install FSDbase on my sever however we keep getting 500 internal error's coming up for all the .pl files. I have been told that the software is giving malformed headers error's in the logs.

Does anyone know how I would go about fixing this problem?
http://69.162.66.195/fsdbase/stats.pl theres a link to one of the files.

Regards
Adam

How are you doing, Adam. First I’ll address security issues of your posted link.

Please be aware that you shouldn’t have uncontrolled directories exposed to the Internet. This is a directory without an index.html that will be displayed when a user goes to that directory. I would recommend that you either copy or link the fsdbase.htm to index.html. This will be what the user will see if he goes to the directory of your published page rather than the specific published page.

I went to the directory base page to see how was the stats.pl being called. While a direct link is alright, by default it will be called from the main program. Your base page gave a directory listing. Please create a file named .htaccess in that base page directory with the following:

<Files ~ "\.cfg$">
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from all
</Files> Now to address your issue… did you run the setup.sh during your install process? When you ran it, did it get you any specific instructions (or errors)?

This is an indication that you didn’t complete the setup of the application. It shouldn’t you that it can’t find (or open) your whazzup file. Apparently it doesn’t exist in the specific location of your fsd.conf. This is the configuration that you setup when you setup your fsd server.

As mentioned in the readme.txt file, you have to specify the location of your fsd server file in the fsdconf item of your fsdbase.cfg file. Did you set that location correctly?

I can see he didn't get it completed here now. Theres a good few files missing.

I am going to try get it going on another server now, because im getting errors all over the place on that one now :( Can anyone maybe guide me through step by step how to add a database? Thats the only part I know I can't do.

What you’re interpreting as errors are probably notices with instructions of what to do. You might initially get the same notices on most machines.

Can anyone maybe guide me through step by step how to add a database? Thats the only part I know I can't do.

AdamLogin to mysql with:

mysql -u [userid] -pcreate the database with:

create database [dbname];You have to have sufficient authority on the system to use the create database name. If you don’t you have to ask your system administrator to create it and give you the user ID and password.
