Dave,

this is a part of my email to this list (Mar/28/2000)...

Iīve gotten this often, if something is wrong in catalog.cfg, in the
login page, in userdb.asc and in the post methode. It is difficult for
me to point you on the right way. Maybe this can help you a little
bit...

-------snipp userdb2userasc.html ---------

<BODY LINK="#006666" ALINK="#FF0000" VLINK="#669999" TEXT="#000000" BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF">

[tag flag write]userdb[/tag]

[userdb function=save]
<BR>

[tag flag write]expuserdb[/tag]
<BR>
[tag export userdb expuserdb]Proceed[/tag]

Users are exorted into the file expuserdb!
</BODY>
</html>
-------snipp userdb2userasc.html ---------

Place this file into catalogs/<yourshop>/pages, visit your shop and
call this file via your URL-Bar in your browser. 
Look into the new file.
After that, make a new account. Use the above file once more and look
into the new file once more. 
If you get (for example)...


code	password	acl	time	s_nickname	name	
Joachim	abc123xyz		949582991		Leidinger
jojo	mypassword		949582991		Leidinger

the second userpassword isnīt encrypted --> wrong setting in
catalog.cfg

Export your userdb.db files and see into expuserdb. Is there your
username? Is there your password? Is the password encrypted or not?

Maybe you have forgotten to restart the minivend server?

Regards,
