Hi Sjoerd,

I had the same problem a while back when I was
experimenting with the cgi-engine ; the quick solution
is to copy the database drivers into the same dir as
the engine and the cgi-scripts.

You'll find these in your Revolution folder in the
directory /components/database_drivers/<platform>

The cleaner way is to use the command
'revSetDatabaseDriverPath' to point to the correct
directory on your server before making any calls to
the revdb functions.

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.
