1.4.1 unable to create admin user

vincent3569

Hi,

to solve the problem of french translation, I have installed the zenphoto-2011-06-28-trunk release from scratch (not a migration).

after that, I can't create an admin user.

do you know what the problem is ?

There is a thread on this http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=9404

Please add your contribution.

It seems not to be the same problem.

In my case, I'm not redirecting to login screen.

In fact, there'is no admin created in the database, I can't access to users tab in the admin to create a user (I'm redirecting to overview tab), I don't have the message and the link "Logged in as vincent3569 | Log Out" in the admin pages, and I can't log out.

So everybody can access to my admin pages...

there is the setup log

You got some warnings apparently you should really take care about. Most important is to disable safe mode.

I had some warnings during the installation of my prod site in 1.4.0.3.

the only difference between the two log files is :

warn: Log security [is compromised] Zenphoto attempts to make log files accessable by owner only (permissions = 0600). This attempt has failed. The log file permissions are 0644 which may allow unauthorized access.

can it be the source of the problem ?

btw : for safe mode :
with my actual provider, I can't modify php parameters.
I don't know what are the possible problem with safe mode...
so I can't do anything but change ISP :-s

acrylian

The possible problem with safe mode is safe mode (it is even deprecated). See the troubleshooting, that has a lengthy article about it for this reason.

The log security is a security issue which has should not have directly to do with creating admins. Standard question: Any errors in the php error log?

vincent3569

where is this php error log ?
I can't find this file

You will have to ask your hosting service about this. Usually the provider has a dashboard with such things as myPHPadmin and you will find a link to review your CGI logs on it. But it all depends, so not something we can answer.
