Hi Olof,

thanks for the script. I run it on my database (by using PHPMyAdmin from
XAMPP) but it still does not work for me.

Furthermore I noticed, if I install laconica database on a standalone MySQL
server, it's not possible to register an user anymore. I always get the
message "Incorrect username or password" (or something like this).  So I
fill impelled to use the xampp with MySQL database, without the people
search.
