default login
Hello DBMan-Users,
i have downloaded the DBMan files yesterday. After uploading the files to my Home/cgi-bin directory at my provider I copied the original db-files to wein.cfg, wein.pass, wein.count, wein.db and wein.log. Now I have the default ones and the wein ones.
Everything works fine while using the standard accounts (admin, guest, etc.) with both databases, but if I want to check-in via URL with the default user (the authorization section in the cfg-file is properly edited) with http://mysite/cgi-bin/dbman/db.cgi?uid=default?db=wein I get a Login error. The default User works only fine with the command http://mysite/cgi-bin/dbman/db.cgi?uid=default, but then clearly only with the default database!
Why does the default user not work in the other db?
Why does even http://mysite/cgi-bin/dbman/db.cgi?uid=default?db=default not work (login error)?

What is to do if you remove the default files and leave only the wine-files? If I do that the default login will show an Internal Server Error 500 or the DBMan own error message (internal error)?

Thanks for your help!

I think you have an error in how you are calling it.

Rather than using:

http://mysite/cgi-bin/dbman/db.cgi?uid=default?db=default

you should use:

http://mysite/cgi-bin/dbman/db.cgi?db=default&uid=default

You first have to define your .cgi file then the database and then the uid=default.

Hope this helps
