[Refdb-users] Re: Web Access Problems

[Daniel H. <da...@se...>]

Thanks Markus.  I tried that and discovered that nothing happend when I
tried the web interface.  So I wrote a quick perl script to see if
something was happening with the username/password/database and cgi;
everything appeared to check out here.  Next, I modified the refdbc.c
code (line 3517) to see if I could print the username when the refdbc is
called.  Now when refdbc is called via cgi the error message prints:
	'' is an incorrect username
	incorrect username.

3516  else if (!strcmp(varname, "username")) {
3517    fprintf(stderr,"\ '%s' is an incorrect username\n",username); //daniel's Code
3518    if (!username[0] && getlogin()) {

As I know very very little about CGI and what is happening in refdbc.c, I would appreciate any input.
