Creating Admin account during setup fails.

hottuna Member
in General support
Hi!
I've run the installation and it works flawlessly (ie filling my sql schema with table and populating some tables). I enter the setup admin account dialogue and fill it up, but when I've submitted it I'm redirected back to the same page asking me to create an admin account.

I've looked in the administrators table, but nothing has been entered into it.
Since writing to the tables worked before I dont understand whats wrong.

I get 2 dialogues:
*Password reset request.
You may now set admin usernames and passwords.

*Saved

    Tell us more about your installation.
  • hottuna Member
    MySQL v5
    PHP5
    LigHTTP
    ZenPhoto v1.2 -- New install

    The administrators table is totally empty.
  • hottuna Member
    Err. Im actually running
    zenphoto version 1.2.2 [2983]
  • sbillard Member
    Since it is a new install, I suggest you try the nightly build to see if that makes a difference. Also, if possible, try with an Apache server.
  • hottuna Member
    I've tried SVN trunk now
    And apache2, and the combination.

    Nothing yet, the exact same problem..
  • hottuna Member
    Is there a way to disable password hashing for admin accounts?
    If i can disable it i can easily create a new account and see if thats the problem.
  • sbillard Member
    With the nightly build there is a script--functions-auth.php which contains the hashing function. You can change it to use the password in clear text.

    But if you admin table is empty then the sql update is not happening so you will just run into some other difficulty. Have you checked your CGI error logs to see if any errors were generated?
  • sbillard Member
    You might also set the DEBUG_LOGIN option to true in functions-basic.php. The debug output that creates might give a clue.
  • hottuna Member
    This is the output i get from debug_log:

    Thanks for the help by the way.

    I didn't find anything interesting in the cgi-logs..
  • sbillard Member
    That is just telling us that the administrators table is empty. Did you attempt to save an adminsitrator with this debug setting? That would be the interesting debug data.
  • hottuna Member
    Yes. That's exactly what I did.
    To no great success though :(
  • hottuna Member
    Are there any other alternatives?
  • sbillard Member
    Not without you providing us some more information. See my post above.
  • hottuna Member
    Yes, I tried to save and administrator with those settings.
  • sbillard Member
    The debug data you provided DOES NOT SHOW a save of the admin. Unless you can provide that debug information we will have NO clue as to what is happening.
  • hottuna Member
    Hi. I deleted my debug_log.txt file and did a single create admin accout retry.
    This is th result:

    If you still arent satisfied with the info tell me exactly what info you need. And I'll fetch if..
  • sbillard Member
    According to this log, you never saved the new admin information after the reset request. It is required you cave the changes.
  • hottuna Member
    I pressed the save button alright.
    The link that the button uses is:
    http://drunkforfun.se/zp-core/admin-options.php?action=saveoptions
  • sbillard Member
    What exactly happens after you press the save button? The Debug record does not show a save.
  • hottuna Member
    It loads the page again, stating that it was saved AND asking me to create a admin account
  • sbillard Member
    Try the current nightly build.
  • hottuna Member
    I tried the trunk, same results :/
  • sbillard Member
    Well, I guess we cannot help you. There is code that seems not to be being executed. No good reason for that, but if the save code does not get run (and there is no way that it would not get run) then nothing gets saved.
  • hottuna Member
    After I do the admin accoutn creation, i can log into non admin.php admin- pages.
    Changes I make on those pages arent saved either.
  • hottuna Member
    I enabled logging in php5 and got this error when doing an admin create.
    PHP Warning: Unknown: POST Content-Length of 353 bytes exceeds the limit of -301989888 bytes in Unknown on line 0
  • hottuna Member
    Ok. Put this in the faq.

    The above warning is about having a post-size that is to large.
    Decrease it to 1200 and it'll work.

    Sorry for taking so much of your time, and thanks for a good gallery :D
  • sbillard Member
    Thanks for the info. Never seen this error before.
