I'm not sure what you want to appear when you first open your database.

To get to the main menu or home page for your database you may want to use the url like this:

http://www.Server.com/db.pl?db=nameofdatabase

Hope this helps, if not you may want to visit the FAQ noted below or JPDeni's DBMan tutorial at: http://www.jpdeni.com/dbman/

I have test with this url too, but the effect is the same.
The sreen-side with login I see this not, I see the error-log screen.

Hello Werner,

Try removing onLoad="document.form1.userid.focus()" from the BODY tag of your document. I believe that maybe causing much of the problem.

Werner,

It appears the problem is due to the login textbox fields being modified to your native language:
Code:
<input type="TEXT" name="Benutzerkennung">
The Login Error screen has the field as:
Code:
<input type="TEXT" name="userid" value="">
That's why you are able to login from the error screen but not able to login from the main screen.

Try correcting the Login Name field in the html.pl script and see if that corrects the problem.

Thank you,
but this is not the error.
I have new install the script and then the script is working. The changed html.pl is old. I think the error is not in html.pl, it's in another file.

In this time i translate the messages in german and learn the function. From day to day the work is better. It is a good script with a lot of documentation. I would like registried in the next day.

Werner,

Unless you change your database fields to indicate the Benutzerkennung field, there is no field matching that input. It is causing your error on the login screen.

Your form is calling for input to the Benutzerkennung field which does not exist. The script then returns a login error screen. On the login error screen, the form is calling for input to the userid field which is defined in the database configuration and allows for login to your program.

Do you have a field labeled 'Benutzerkennung' in your default.cfg file?

Hello Werner,

I just visited your login screen and see that you have been able to correct the problem. Glad it has worked for you.
