Just been setting up my script with deni excellent cgi tool. Only problem is there is a link to the admin section on every page (ie even when you login is as guest). As there are no privilages it just gives an authentication error when clicked on. I checked in the html files and this is here for html_home:

print " Admin " if ($per_admin);

so no idea why it is happening. Is there any fruther bits of my config file or the html file i need to include here to make it easier for you.

It does seem that when loggin in with default it does not show the admin thing, it is only when logging in with guest/guest or author/author.

you can see an example at:

The codes in the sub html_footer subroutine in the html.pl file should look like the following:



Hope this helps.

Unfortunatly not, that is what it says already. Weird.. it seems that the script thinks the user is admin when generating that but not when doing privilages. You can see the difference between logging in as default and as guest. weird.

Welp...then you need to check the User Permissions in the default.cfg file.
