    I was able to successfully get phpGedView setup (using mysql version), imported a basic Gencom file and can perform online edits to it.

    When trying to use  gdbi-5-pgv.jar to connect to phpGedView (v 2.61.1) I'm not able to connect.  I've verified that the user account exists and has edit rights.

    I use a subdomain rather then a phpgedview directory.

    When I put in the connect info:
    "http://family.mydomain.com/gdbi.php"
    userid
    password
    gencom file name (noticed that the import doesn't give it a .ged extension and only gives apache rw permissions)

    I get can see the following error in the terminal view:

    GI error action=connect: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

    Any thoughts / suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    TIA,

    -Ron

      Problem solved.  Updated the sessions.php file with help from Daniel @ GDBI.

      For the rest of you who may come across this problem.  This is a bug in PhpGedView using forced authentication.  If you set your gedcom to require authentication before someone can view your site, the GDBI client is incorrectly forwarded to the login page. 

      This can be fixed by using an updated session.php page available from the latest beta release or by contacting me.
