I get "Password start Was Wrong" when I try to login the first time.
- The file "users.txt" was not uploaded in ASCII mode. Force your FTP client to upload both users.txt and toolbar.txt in ASCII. Uploading in BINARY mode sends a hidden "carriage return" that turns "admin" into "admin\r".

How many users can I put on an installation in a domain?

Each installation can cover the entire domain. Each installation can easily handle any where from one user to ten thousand users. The built-in Admin screens can be accessed from any contentEditable page with the Admin password. Admin can create, delete and edit users, assigning each user editing privilages to particular directory trees or to individual files, assigning users their own image directory, and determining which toolbar functions to allow each user.

The veribage on this site is pro-Microsoft and the editor only works in browsers on Windows. Can I install the editor on a Unix server?

Yes! In fact, contentEditable.com is on a Plesk Linux server running Apache. The editor will run on any server that has Perl 5 installed. This page is actually maintained using the contentEditable toolbar. FWIW, we're not pro-Microsoft, were pro-Web. We use any technology that works. When it comes to servers we insist on, and use, the best.

The toolbar background color looks funny. I'm on XP.
- The toolbar uses the operating system's "buttonface" color. If you are using an XP Theme there is no way to read the color that the Theme has used instead. The toolbar is using the default Windows Standard appearance "buttonface" color.
I'm on a virtual hosted server and support is not telling me the full path to my domain's documenrt root. How do I find that?
- Click HERE to download the file env.zip and unzip it. Upload the file env.cgi to the folder containing the other Perl scripts. Run env.cgi by accessing it with your browser. It will display all of the Enviroment variables, including DOCUMENT_ROOT. This path must be the PATH to the folder where your domain's "home" page is found.
I'm getting a server error that CGI.pm is not found when I try to upload images.
- Your Perl installation does not contain the Standard Distribution of the Perl Library. No big deal. Click HERE to download a zip containing the file CGI.pm. Unzip it and upload CGI.pm to the same folder that upload.cgi is in, Perl will find it.
