Well, I used dBMan successfully for years ,and when we left NYC the files got messed up and I've had to try to recreate my previous success. www.tasteofbrooklyn.com/main.html

Now, however I can't seem to login, the search works fine and all, but questions are:

1) are the passwords in default.pass encrypted - my old pass doesn't seem to work

2) where should the "sign-up" form be (html.pl? default.cfg?)

3) if I can go into the default.pass and set up a new password, why can't I login?

Everytime I try to login I get a 404 error page within my own site. I also can't get to the Sign Up area.

TIA!!!

That error message indicates the file is not being found. You need to double check paths and directory structure to make sure you are accessing everything at the correct address.

Thanks! That was exactly it! But, one thing after I create a new user -- and login as that user - none of the links show up Add | Modify | View | Delete (just one of the little pipes | shows up)

Only if I login do they show up, any ideas about that one? Thanks!!!!!!!!!!

My default.cfg file is set up like this:



# Authorization Options
# --------------------------------------------------------
# No Authentication? (1 = "there is no authentication", 0 = "there is authentication")
# If you choose no authentication, then set the permissions of what
# people can do with: @auth_default_permissions below.
$auth_no_authentication = 1;

# The amount of time in seconds that user files are kept in the
# auth directory before the program removes them. 2-6 hours is
# probably a good value.
$auth_time = 21600; # 6 hours (in seconds)

# Enable (1) or disable (0) logging.
$auth_logging = 1;

# Allow a default user? This means you can specify a user via the URL
# and skip the logon process. Use this to allow people to search without
# logging on, but require log in if they want to add/modify/remove etc.
# (1 = "yes", 0 = "no")
$auth_allow_default = 1;

# Default permissions used if there is no authentication, or for a default
# user. (View, Add, Delete, Modify, Admin), 1 = enable, 0 = disable.
@auth_default_permissions = (1,1,1,1,0);

# Allow people to sign up for their own userid/passwords? They will
# recieve default permissions.
$auth_signup = 0;

# Permissions a new signup should get.
@auth_signup_permissions = (1,1,0,0,0);

# Registered users: can modify/delete _only_ own records. For this to make
# sense you should set default off or to 1,0,0,0.
$auth_modify_own = 1,1,1,1;

# Registered users: can view _only_ own records. For this to make sense
# you should turn off default permissions.
$auth_view_own = 0;

# Auth user field. This is the field position in the database used for storing
# the userid who owns the record. Set to -1 if not used.
$auth_user_field = -1;

# URL to send user if they chose log off. Leave blank and the script will return to
# the logon prompt (although this only makes sense if you are using authentication).
$auth_logoff = "http://www.puddlemedia.com/cgi-bin/dbman/main.html";
