Help, locked out of Admin page

sbillard

I am trying to upgrade from 1.0.2b to 1.0.8.2. I followed the directions to the best of my ability. However, I cannot get to the Admin page now. The album seems to work, including some problems that I was seeing are fixed.

When I go to the Admin page, I get the logon page. I enter the username and password that I placed in the zp-config.php file and press Log in. I am returned to the login page with the fields blanked out.

What have I done wrong?

Interesting new data. I tried to change my Admin password for the 1.0.2b version. I did this by editing the config.php file (which is the name in the 1.0.2b version) and uploading it. Having done that I got the same locked out of the Admin page problem.

Other note: although the install script on my ISP server states that the version is 1.0.2b, the Admin page says 1.0.1 beta.

make sure you are using the admin usernaem and password and not the database username and password.

Problem Resolved:

However, the resolution was not smooth. First, I decided to try setting up a second installation of Zenphoto so I could do a clean install of the 1.0.8 version. First step: create a new database on my ISP server. Bam. Just creating the database killed the installed photo album. Oh, well, I was going to do a clean install for a test, now the test would be "live".

I cleaned everything out, dropped the database(s), set up a new database, copied all the appropriate files. Tried to run the setup.php script. No dice. Had the login problem(s) described above.

So, I went into my browser cookies and found the ones the album placed there. Deleted them and ran setup.php again. This time I was able to log in.

All is well now.

There may still be a problem with trying to change the Admin user and/or password. I haven't tried that on the 1.0.8 version. I have also not tried adding a new database on my server--that was too sever a problem, don't want to experience that again.
