Cannot log in admin panel!

[jdleung]

I'm running pixelpost on my pc. today I copied the whole site to my notebook, including mysql data.

it works fine but just cannot log in admin panel. it seems password is not correct. I check the user name and password in table "pixelpost_config" with phpmyadmin. they are all the same as on my pc.

thanks.

how do you mean you copied the site to your notebook? are you just running pixelpost locally or something? if so just check the differences in your php configuration.

[jdleung]

yes, I'm running pixelpost locally .

and just copy them in windows. and why I should config the php configuration? I installed another pp on my notebook, it's running well.

if I must do so,where to change in php configuration.

Thanks.

[Joe[y]]

if you installed another pp then there is no need to reconfigure your php.

is it only the login that's not working on your notebook?

[jdleung]

YES,everything goes well except login.

[Joe[y]]

have you tried using any password recovery? checking in phpmyadmin is tricky because of the md5 hash on the password.

[raminia]

which version PP you are using?

[jdleung]

I'm using pp1.5 beta.

[raminia]

copy 1.5RC1 files and try again.

[jdleung]

in table "pixelpost_config":

admin:admin
password:21232f297a57a5a743894a0e4a801fc3

they're the same both on pc and notebook.

[jdleung]

who can help?

Thanks.

[raminia]

your password is not 21232f297a57a5a743894a0e4a801fc3
it's a hashed password. the coded password is 21232f297a57a5a743894a0e4a801fc3 the orignial is what you have typed when you set password.

[jdleung]

yes, I know.
my real password is "admin", admin="21232f297a57a5a743894a0e4a801fc3"

what I meant is that the hashed password are the same.

Thanks.

[jdleung]

thanks, Joe[y]

I also want to know whys.;)

[Joe[y]]

if there is a problem in your database then that script should overwrite it and leave you with a fresh and usable password.

[jdleung]

Joe[y], password recovery doesn't work!

[jdleung]

maybe I got to have a correct setting on my own server since a new installation cannot login too.

that would make sense. if everything is copied identically from your pc to your notebook then the only possible problem could be with the setup on your notebook - this might just be a case of spot the difference between your server settings.

[jdleung]

Joe[y], what setting do you suppose to be in php or apache?

Thanks.

well the most likely thing in the case of not being able to login to 1.5 will be in relation to sessions with php. perhaps sessions can't be done on your notebook... check this out if you know how.

[jdleung]

yes, this line in php: session.save_path = "c:/tmp"

I somehow deleted this folder.

the new installation can login now. and the old one display "try another day !!"

I saw this question in the forum before,but I somehow cannot search it.

Thanks.

[Joe[y]]

we have something about your error on your old one in the wiki i think.

[jdleung]

I found no result too in the wiki.:=(

YES, JUST TRY ANOTHER DAY!!
