Problems within Login
When I start DBman, the browser directly goes to the Homepage (html_home) and not to the login form (html_login_form).

Can some one tell me what I'm doing wrong ??

Thx, Burner.

Make sure that you have set the $auth_no_authentication to 0, like the following:

Code:
$auth_no_authentication = 0;

This turns on authentication.

Ehhm, when I switch html_home to for example html_homepage and html_login_form to html_home it works, but it doesn"t proceed.

(P.S. excuse me for my English, haven't spoken and typed it for a while.)

Well, then please save the following files as text files:

default.cfg
html.pl

then post them in a publicly accessible directory in a publicly accessible web server, and then post the URLs to these text files.

Okay, your permissions are ALL screwed up...

You need to edit the following codes:

Code:
$auth_allow_default = 0;
@auth_default_permissions = (0,0,0,0,0);
$auth_modify_own = 1;
$auth_user_field = -1;

to the following:

Code:
$auth_allow_default = 1;
@auth_default_permissions = (1,0,0,0,0);
$auth_modify_own = (1,0,0,0);
$auth_user_field = 9;

Hope this helps.

No, it didn't help, to be sure I downloaded dbman for the second time and installed it like it was the first time, but it still didn't work. The only thing i changed was de perl directory and the cgi-bin directory, but it still directly goes to the html_home in the html.pl. Could the problem be that I'm using a localhost server, maybe that's the reason why he can't read the script wright. Or is it because I'm using a window based server.

Thx

That should not matter because you can use either the non-routing IP address or localhost when you are testing the script on the "server" machine (i.e., your PC).

That doesn't matter. DBMAN has been written to operate in UNIX and Windows based platforms.

You do not need to add a password.cgi script to DBMAN...IT already has one embedded in it.

What I would check is the following:

1) Your DBMAN directory permissions.
2) Check your Perl configurations to make sure they are set up properly.
