Topic: Flat File Troubles...

[YoPedro]

First the compliment, album.pl is very cool! However, I seem to be doing something wrong as I cannot get the flatfile authentication to work.  It appears that it is finding the user name and password OK in the auth_db.txt file and that these are matching what the user types in, but it still is not happy.  Here is the debug message:

Code: [Select]

2482: Using Flatfile Authentication (type 1)
2528: Username: jim
2529: Entered Password: eathaggis
2530: Stored Password: eathaggis

2535: Authenticated: 0
2543: Did authentication come from a cookie? ($cookielogin): 0
2545: Leaving subroutine: Authenticate


Any thoughts on what is going on here?

Thanks,

Dan

The "Authenticated: 0" line means that you weren't authenticated. Check out the auth_db.txt file to see if it has whitespace at the end of the line. Also, make sure you FTP it in ASCII mode, not binary...

Apparently I had uploaded in Binary, not ASCII, so now it is working beautifully.   Thanks much!

Glad to hear it!
