I bought a script from someone who gave me the admin password, but I couldn't login with it. So I double checked in phpmyadmin to make sure the admin password was correct, and it is, but I still can't login to the admin area - any ideas?
First of all, if it is storing the password in plain text in the db it is probably not the sort of script you want to be going anywhere near.... if you paid for the script go back to the person you bought it from.
What error message are you getting. Did you make sure that proper database connection settings have been used. It could be the case that the script is not able to connect to the database at all.
I bought the site from someone with the script already installed. I went to contact her via the SitePoint PM system (where I had before) but she's no longer in there. It just says 'wrong username/password' after the 3rd try. Also, I can create a new user and everything works correctly - so that leads me to think that the database connections are ok.
I'll pay someone if they can help me get this script working - it's a baby book script. Name a price if interested...
Are you saying that you're running into a problem with logging into the database or logging into the application? If the application, I would start with duplicating the Admin record and give it a new password. But don't forget to rename the username of old Admin record so that they're not duplicated. If this is a MySql database, then you might be dealing with a versioning issue where the treatment of passwords changed in version 4.1... http://www.digitalpeer.com/id/mysql
It's already installed - I'm just having a problem with the app admin login. Yes, I can log in to the database - but I don't know how to duplicate the admin record (in phpmyadmin) - I'm a beginner when it comes to databases
