hy out there,
my dbman is nearly comin´to the end. so i checked the functions. nearly great but there seems to be a little bug!!

I allow all useres to sign up for their own account.
works fine,
but after havin created an account, they have to loggin 2x.
when pressing the "einloggen" button for the first time after having created an account an error message is coming up saying:
invalid userid/password

I have realy had NO TYPO in loggin in for the first time (checked it out 5-8 times).

then, correcting the user ID in the login file from the scratch for the second time, everything goes ahead working fine.

what can I have done wrong??

wanna check it out by yourself???

In your signup success form, you have a typo. You have the user name field labeled "Userid." It should be "userid." Capital letters matter in Perl.

hi jpd,
must be something else,
i´ve checked db.cgi, html.pl and default.cfg
and labeled all userid fields in small letters.
but it did not effect the "bug".
still asking for a second login after having a new user registered!!
it´s not THAT BAD because it only happens the first time a new user wants to login. but maybe one or two may get a little bit confused about this fact.

I don't want to argue with you, but you do have one time where you have "Userid" in your html.pl file. It's in the html_signup_success subroutine. Just to check it out, sign up with a new user account and watch the variables in the debugging information at the bottom of the screen. When you get to the "invalid userid/password" screen, you will see a variable called "Userid." That is coming from the signup_success subroutine.

I also checked the page source for the signup success page. Sure enough, there's "Userid" big as life.

In fact, here's the html code I copied from the signup success page source from your site:

-------------------------------
<table border=0>
<tr><td><Font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" Size=2 Color=#003399><b>User Name:</b></FONT></td>
<td><input type="TEXT" name="Userid"></td></tr>
<tr><td><Font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" Size=2 Color=#003399><b>Passwort:</b></FONT></td>
<td><input type="PASSWORD" name="pw"></td></tr>
</table>
