Admin Privileges

Hey
I'm quite new to XOOPS but have used Content Managment Systems before.

I installed version 2.0.15 on my server, and when i logged in as an admin, the administration link came up but it said i didn't have the correct permissions

After a while a decided to install version 2.0.13.2 to see if it was any different, and it did the same - i couldn't use any admin controls

Anyone got any ideas on how to fix this?
Is there a general standard admin username and password that i should be using?

Cheers

Nope. The username and password for the admin account is set during installation.

So why does the username and password that i entered whilst installing work? I can log in, but i can't administer anything! Any ideas?

Thanks for the quick reply!

Wish I knew. Could be many things but would need some debug messages to find the root of the problem.

What do you mean by 'debug messages'?

Do you mean what it says when i am denied access to the admin page?

Re: Admin Privileges

No it would be (usually) a hidden error message when the files or querries are processed.

This is the same problem I'm experiencing. I'm coming to the conclusion it has to be an environmental variable on the host. I've not used this host before for XOOPS sites and never previously had this problem. I've now tried three fresh installs of 2.0.15, one install of 2.2.3a and two installs of 2.013. Apart from one of the 2.0.13 installs which had other problems - they've all shown the same permissions error you describe. Rather bizarrely it seemed to be working ok last night (2.0.13 upgraded to 2.0.14) but reverted to the problem behaviour this morning.

I'm simply detailing this to avoid you trying multiple installs as it really isn't working.

Re: Admin Privileges

Check the default permissions on your server files and folders. Folders (except for cache, templates_c and uploads) should be chmod 755, files should be chmod 644.
