I still don't get it!

I've installed dbman on windows me (web server is Xitami) and as a default user I can view, add, modify, delete and admin to my heart's content.

I want everyone to view only (I can set this up), and one userid/password to add,mod,del,admin.

HOW DO I GET A LOGON SCREEN TO LOGIN AS THE ADMIN PERSON?!?!

I've tried the suggestions in jpdenis site about recreating the password file. I've created a new user and used this link http://localhost/cgi-bin/dbman/db.cgi?db=default&uid=user&pw=password&login=1 but all I ever get is a main menu with Home and Log Off.

I must be missing the point as I thought this is a valid way of using dbman!

Use:

http://localhost/cgi-bin/dbman/db.cgi

Then login
========================================
Buh Bye!

Thanks but if I use that I just get the Main Menu where the only options are Home | Log Off!

In your sub html_footer include a link for admin only:

print qq!| <A HREF="$db_script_url?db=$db_setup">Log On</A> ! if ($per_admin);

If you want to use the actual link you have below be sure to include the actual username and password in the link.

Hope this helps

Thanks!

WAIT!!! ITS A WINDOWS THING!!!

I've just uploaded to my Unix server and I get the logon screen straight away!

Any ideas as to why under windows I can only use the default user?

I've set default permissions to 1,1,1,1,1 to be able to go into admin and enter a brand new user/password (also with full permissions). Am I right in thinking that this link should now log me on?

http://localhost/cgi-bin/dbman/db.cgi?db=default&uid=user&pw=password&login=1

It doesn't! I remain at the Main Menu page.

Anyone else having problems follow the link below and comment out the code shown.

It's some specific help with server authentication on Xitami/Windows.

It works (for me anyway)!
