No permissions and no log in screen
Hello there!

I'm a very new newbie at all this - and I set up Dbman about a week ago with very few problems, everything was working, people were able to add and view, etc etc.

However, now, when I go to the dbman/db.cgi to log on, all I get is a screen with "Home" and "Log Off" option. No log in option, no Add/Delete/View/Modify, etc.

I haven't touched a thing since I originally installed it.

Any help at all would be really appreciated. I have copies of the different scripts at stuff online, you can find them here:

As I said, I'm really really new with this, so any help at all that you can give me at all would be gladly and appreciatively received!! Thank you so much for reading this!

Those files are protected by a username/password system. You'll need to move them to an unprotected directory if you want others to see them.

I still can't view the html.pl file, as the server tries to execute it. Renaming it html.txt would fix that.

As for the config file, well the only unusual line I could see was:
Code:
'CEAP No' => [ 0, 'numer', 6, 255, 0, '', '\d{1}'],

Where did you get the '\d{1}' part from? Normally, the auto-incrementing key field has a default of '' and a "not null" value of 1 not 0.

In other words:-

Code:
'CEAP No' => [ 0, 'numer', 6, 255, 1, '', ''],

I get a 403 (forbidden) error and a 404 (file not found) error at that URL using that login info.

Yeah - it shouldn't be doing that. I haven't a clue what's going on with it. All of a sudden, I went from totally functional pages to 403s and 404s all over the place. GRRRRR.

Alright - does anyone know if .htaccess/.htpasswd would affect how a cgi script would execute?

Also - all my problems seem to have resolved themselves, but only AFTER I'd removed all the password protection.

Thank you all for your help! :)

Perhaps the .htpasswd file became corrupted, thus preventing you from accessing some of the necessary files.

I'm glad it's working again anyway.
