Hi,

I'm working with web2py for a class project, and while I've gotten the server to launch, I can't seem to access any administrative functions.  The admin interface prompts me for a password, which I enter, and then it goes back to the overview of all apps.

However, instead of showing "Edit" and the other administrative options, it provides a "Manage" button which does nothing when I click it. 

I've tried disabling my firewall and all ad-blocking software, but without any change.

Does anyone have any ideas what I can try to resolve this?  I've followed the instructions from the guide to get here.

Thanks,
Larry

"Edit" is under the "Manage" button - so you really just need a functional "Manage" button.  Do you have NoScript installed?  Perhaps try another browser or another machine.

Trying another machine might run into the administrative access restrictions, unless Larry is setting up HTTPS.  Or runs the web2py stack on the other machine instead of browsing to the original machine.

As Willoughby hints, web2py administrative functions do require javascript to be enabled.
