New install: Unable to login

[whtan]

Hello,

I've installed the free version and am unable to log in - I've verified the login and password and even reinstalled it in case I mistyped the password.

When I click Login it just stays on the login page.

Does anyone know what the problem might be?

Thanks for any help,

Andy

Welcome to our support forum jchichom,

Which version of eSyndiCat do you use?

[jchichom]

i'm trying the free version before purchase anything.

@whtan

should you want to 'see what's behind' the login form, remove admin_auth(); from the admin/header.php (line 21) then you can perfectly access to the admin index.

of course it's only a temporary solution (just to see how it works) because now the admin section is unprotected

Hello jchichom,

You could reset user and password. Create PHP file with such code and run on your server.

<?

include_once "classes/DirDb.php";
include_once "includes/config.inc.php";

$myDb = new Database();
$myDb->mDbhost = $gDirConfig["dbhost"];
$myDb->mDbuser = $gDirConfig["dbuser"];
$myDb->mDbpwd = $gDirConfig["dbpwd"];
$myDb->mDbname = $gDirConfig["dbname"];
$myDb->mPrefix = $gDirConfig["prefix"];

$myDb->connect();

$admin_name = "admin";
$admin_pass = md5("admin");

$query = "UPDATE `{$gDirConfig['prefix']}admins` SET `username` ='{$admin_name}' WHERE `id`='1'";

if(!$myDb->query($query))
{
	echo "Error!!";
}

$query = "UPDATE `{$gDirConfig['prefix']}admins` SET `password` ='{$admin_pass}' WHERE `id`='1'";

if(!$myDb->query($query))
{
	echo "Error!!";
}

?>

thank you for the response sergey.

I think the problem is not at the username/password pair. When you introduce a wrong password, the system just tell you 'Authentification failed' but when you introduce the right one...nothing happens. (one thing happens indeed: you are redirect again to the login.php, but without any error message)

The exact same thing is happening to me, was there ever a solution?

I test on Firefox 2.0 and disable JavaScript, I can not login and it will refresh to page login without any error message.

May be you guys disble JavaScript on your browser or javascript is not working.
