I haven't been able to log in since yesterday. I've posted this problem but it is not being answered. I need to get into my XOOPS site.

I've read the faq, tried the fixes, but still can't log on.

I've done searches and have not found any solution.

Also, no one can register on my site.

Surely, someone has a clue to what's going on?

windows xp unix server. Week old installation of xoops

Isnt there a way of forcing my way into administration?

dumped sesseons table, have no firewall, cleaned-out cookies, nothing works.

"INCORRECT LOG IN"

Which is the message I've been getting all day.

Also ran the browser check, and everything passed:

Can you click the link for lost password?

if that stil does not work, try to reinstall xoops, just use the same database and you shoudln't loose anything.

Sure, but can I install 1.3 over 1.2 without harming the database?

Hi Council,

If you still have phpMyAdmin acces try the following :

The password is stored in xoops_user field :pass.

It is in MD5. the following lets you create your own md5 password.

echo md5(password_of_your_choice);
?>


Save this snippit in a *.php file and call it from a browser. You will get the md5 code to put into the database for your username. (xoops_user table)

You should now be able to log in with your username + password_of_your_choice

If this doesnt work your xoops_groups_users_link table might be the problem.
add a new row :
linkid = next unused number
groupid = id of the group you want to be added to (1 = webmasters in my case) (look up in xoops_groups)
uid = userid (look up in the xoops_user table)

This should get you into your site !!!

Greetings Highlander

ps. this post assumes you have XOOPS as your table prefix; change it if needed.

Council, do you claim to be using XOOPS 1.2?

the info by highlander above will work, but I think the crack you are puffing may counteract the md5 hash.

Followed the first solution, it didn't work.

With the second solution I couldn't locate "groupid" in the new row. Installed the new row anyway, with no results.

Ok, what about reinstalling Xoops? Can I install 1.3 over 1.2 without losing data?

Jumping Jesus on a Pogo Stick Man!

What is this 1.2 / 1.3 mumbo jumbo?

Install 2.0.9.2 RIGHT OVER THE TOP.

When you say use the same database, how do I do that?

Won't a new install report back the database already exists and stop installing?
