#49, Fatbomb Custom Database Setup
Posted by georgesepich on Oct-18-04 at 11:42 AM

Hi everybody, I want to introduce myself, my name is George, I'm new to bombs and I'm trying to get my Fat Bomb/URL Bomb combo up and running.

I'm trying to follow the samples in this thread for testing out how to create a custom database, but I need some help figuring out what I may be doing wrong.

My cgi url path to the database is: http://www.createandsellproducts.com/cgi-bin/trenchcoatgoat/dig.cgi/admin/add_database

I've uploaded the gov.txt database mentioned in the above posts into the same directory as my fatbomb cgi.(dig.cgi) I go to may fat bomb admin panel and click on the databases link at the top of the admin panel. In the id field I entered gov.txt, but all I get is an inadmissible id error.

Is there a certain path I need to use, even though gov.txt is in the same directory as my dig.cgi?

Also if you could give me clarification on when/how to use the enabled yes/no radio buttons, and the search mode all/any/exact buttons. I'm not sure what these need to be set at.

I also tried other ways mentioned in the above posts such as creating a database folder, and changing a text file to a dat file, but ran into the same type of problem. I also tried changing the permissions on the gov.txt file a few different ways including 777, but that didn't make any difference either.

Hope these aren't too many questions for my first post. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
George
