thanks to Ben and Hugh for their suggestions. when running the following command:
$ perl /var/www/cgi-bin/freeipdb/admin.cgi i get the following error message: [kuom@gallium freeipdb]$ perl admin.cgi Content-type: text/html <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>FreeIPdb 0.1.4</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF> <center><table BORDER COLS=2> <tr> <td BGCOLOR="#FF44AA" COLSPAN=2> <center> <h1> <b><font face="Arial,Helvetica" color="#000000" SIZE=+2> FreeIPdb 0.1.4</font> </font></b></h1></center> </td> </tr> install_driver(Pg) failed: Can't load '/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/DBD/Pg/Pg.so' for module DBD::Pg: /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/auto/DBD/Pg/Pg.so: undefined symbol: PL_perl_destruct_level at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/DynaLoader.pm line 229. at (eval 4) line 3 Compilation failed in require at (eval 4) line 3. Perhaps a required shared library or dll isn't installed where expected at admin.cgi line 32 [kuom@gallium freeipdb]$ so it looks like i have a problem with my perl-DBI. by the way, the database is sitting on the same machine. thanks for all the suggestions :) -Josh
