I am not a seasoned programmer. I did the LibWeb installation by following the readme file and a bit learning will.
1. I use PPM to install modules needed by libweb, and the libweb itself:
c:\perl\bin>ppm
ppm> install {moduless}
Note1: this installation will put libweb under c:/perl/site/lib/libweb
Note2: for some reason, the PPM installation will not give you the two directories /t and /eg, proceed to download the original file
2. downloaded the libweb file and unzip it. Copy both /t and /eg directories to c:/perl/site/lib/libweb
3. edit the dot_lwrc, lw.cgi and lm.cgi accordingly, and setup mysql and its two tables
4. run lw.cgi and get the successful installation message.
My problem is how to create and login as an admin?

Hello!
Since you have already reached the succesful installation message, it is pretty convenient to create the admin user.
To create an admin account, go back to lw.cgi (the page with the congratulations message) and click on the Admin tab. Here you will see a place to create a new user. When you create a user with this form, the first user you create will become the admin user, and any users you make after the first one will be regular non-admin users ( * so it is Very Important to create the users in the right order! *).
Once the admin user is created, you log in as the admin user later by returning to the Admin tab and using the Sign In form.
Let us know if you have any questions...
Cheers,
