Help, I can't access ./admin.php

While my site has been running fine for the last year or so, I've recently been trying to login to my site where I'm got webmaster permissions.

After my login, when I attempt to navigate to ./admin.php, I'm told that I don't have permission to access that area.

What's going on?

I'm wondering if anyone had a workaround.

I looked at the db and
`xoops_group_permission`
does not contain any
system_admin in the gperm_name

I would imagine that system_admin should be in there.

Any suggestions are welcome,
Bryan

Go to your database, go to the table xoops_users and make sure your level is 5

you should also give this Link link a try..

xoops_groups_users
shows I'm I member of
groupid 1 ( webmaster )
groupd 2 (reg. user )


xoops_users shows my level was 2. I changed it to 5.

I still can't get access to ./admin.php

I'm really at a loss.

I also can't make any posts to the site.

I'm really at a loss as to what to do.

help?

thanks

If you cant get your previous admin account working try to create a new one.

1. register a new user (as every other user from frontside)

2. Use phpAdmin to get into the table xoops___groups_users_link and find the line with the link for the userid of the one you just created.

Usually this should be the last one. If you want to verify the userid go into the users profile after logging in and you can see it in the url.

3. Edit those settings from:

[b]    linkid    groupid    uid[/b]
     
linkid      2       uid
to

     
linkid      1       uid


4. Logon with that user.

If it works remember to edit that user and add him to the "registered users" group again.

I could not register a new user.

New posts can't be made by anyone.

I'm going to look at the file permissions.

Mainfile.php permissions 444

As far as I can tell, my permissions are set up correctly.

What I don't understand is how this problem is happening.

It seems that the site works fine except for accepting input from forms.

How is form input validated?

Is there a particular file that handles that validation?

Basically, XOOPS accepts the input, but it's as if the db will not accept the new input.

I have an old version of my site that I could upload, but I'm not sure if this is a permission issue, a database issue or if somehow a file was changed and that's whats preventing new input.

The list of issues:
- can't register new users
- no one can post
- I can't login to admin

Help!!!
