Howdy;

Ok I posted this in another forum and was told to post it here, I have also spent an hour today looking over the postings in this for for this problem and stopped at the 110th page (man theres allot of postings here) but heres the problem and keep in mind I don't know much about perl and what all the characters are used for, so this may be a stupid question.

What I'm trying to do is use my own html pages to have people access the information in dbman. I know I have to use SSI but I can't even get tat far! It gives me a user login screen. Again I don't want the user to have to log on at the dbman front end. and the ?db=default&uid=default thing don't work with standard html pages. (at I can't get it to)
I was originally going to have a login screen on my page but trashed that idea as I found out that I could have them access dbman without it, but I can't get either to work? So am I screwed?

thanks

I could be wrong, but if your link into the database is not working .. for having default users, then my guess would be that perhaps your permissions are not set correctly??

Have you by any chance viewed JPDeni's excellent DBMan tutorial .. it's a great place to get started with your database and understanding the setups.

There is a section specific to permissions, and this is located at:
http://wwww.jpdeni.com/dbman/

If this does not solve your problem, you may need to save your file as .txt files and then provide the complete url to each file so that we can take a look at them.

example:

save your .cfg file as cfg.txt

it might only be necessary to post your .cfg file at this time so JPDeni can see how your script is setup and whether it's allowing access with default persmission.

Thanks,

I'll check out the tutorial and see what trouble I can get into with that :)
