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.

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?

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.

<?php 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.

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?

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

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.

Controlling Feed length in XHLD0

How do you control the lenght of the feed in xhld0?

I'm getting some lengths at 400 characters, others at 4000. This is no good for my purposes. I need a consistent 400 characters from each feed.

I do I do this?

I checked the faq and it said the cause could be:

1. mainfile physical path error.

2. Firewall permission problem

3. Empty table sessions (check PhpMyAdmin)

Tried all these fixes and still can't log in.

Which FAQ? I'll have to investigate that, because the reason you get "Incorrect login" is either
a) You did not specify a username or a password OR
b) You wrote a username that does not exist in the database OR
c) You wrote correct username but incorrect password

The FAQ menu selection to your left. On the page it has a link that says "can't log in". I went to that link and tried the fixes.

I've logged into this installation of XOOPS about 100 times using several different browsers. As of last night none will allow me to log in.

This is not a wrong username/password issue.

Can you detail your XOOPS environment? What OS and webserver are you using? Has this just started happening, or has it been doing this since day one?

First time it ever happened in this week old install. I had an earlier install of XOOPS running for a month with any problems.

I'm using a windows box running xp on a unix web server. The problem happned last night, seemingly after I deleted an article from News2. I did nothing else of consequence before or after this. Earlier, (before locking myself out) I did notice, however, that several modules I downloaded would not install properly even after several attempts.

Ok, I've read the fix, tried all three of the fixes and still can't log in.

Isn't there an easy way of fixing this?
