This should also be in the README file...

You need to create links to the signup form, like the following:



in the sub html_home routine.

this is done in the sub_html home routine
But it still doesnt work?
In DB.cgi there is this line
# If you run into problems, set $db_script_path to the full path
# to your directory.
$db_script_path = ".";
What should i do with this?

If you're installing the demo, the first thing you should do is log on with
username: admin
password: admin

That should get you past the login page.

If you want to create a link on the login form to sign up, there are instructions at http://www.jpdeni.com/dbman/Mods/bugfix.txt. Scroll down the the bottom of the page. Copy the subroutine there and paste it into your html.pl file, replacing the current sub html_login_form.

The other thing you can do is to access the demo as a default user, without logging in at all. Use a URL like

http://www.server.com/cgi-bin/dbman/db.cgi?db=default&uid=default

Change the text in italics above to match the location of your DBMan files.
