Admin login problem

[theuniscc]

Hi

Maybe someone can assist me with Admin Login problem.

I have re-installed "cmsmadesimple" 3 times already, writing down all data thus making sure that I do not use incorrect user/pass.

When inserting correct user/pass it just reloads Admin-Login page http://localhost/cmsmadesimple/admin/login.php , but when ons uses either incorrect user/pass it says wrong user or pass used.

I looked at the Forum and;

Tried "Debug" and only get incorrect user/pass.
Changed pass through phpmyadmin so as to be able to use "admin" for login, not working.

Is there perhaps something else that I could have done incorrect.

Installing on home PC Win98SE, using Apache 1.3.27 (CGI), MySQL 3.23.49, PHP 4.3.1 and  phpMyAdmin 2.8.0.3 .

Maybe a hint ?
I have installed about 35 other CMS's so far, most worked (could login) some of them I could not login, but left them and tried the next cms.

Root username & password(encoded) show up via phpMyAdmin in table cms_users.
Question is, where does one see the user/pass for admin ?

Found "cmsmadesimple" and so far it seems the best, would really like to get in and try it out.

Any suggestions.

what does your config.php file say?

Hi Mark

This is the file.
Hope it can tell you something.

this,,

$config['dbms'] = 'mysql';
$config['db_hostname'] = 'localhost';
$config['db_username'] = 'root';
$config['db_password'] = '';

makes me think you can put root as name and nothing as password,, otherwise all looks good, you might want to reinstall,(if you have anything in DB skip write to files) and put a diff. name in the username and put in a password then try to login,,
of course you set all the pemissions per install instructions,,

Step 4

Now for the script to access the folder properly, you need to change permissions of the following files and directories on the server. CHMOD these to 777:

    * tmp/templates_c
    * tmp/cache
    * uploads
    * uploads/images

CHMOD?!? Well, in most cases you can alter the permissions by right-clicking in your FTP program on the directory or file in question, selecting CHMOD or File Attributes (or something similar) and enter 777 in the appropriate field. Otherwise, check the manual of your FTP program.
Step 5

In a text editor, create an empty file naming it config.php. Save that file in the CMSMS directory (same (sub)directory as in step 3).

Set permissions to that file to 666.

hope this helps

Hi

Still the same.

I use root for username and a password, as I am on my home PC with own Apache etc. servers. (see first post)

I have reinstalled twice again.

I can again run through the whole tutorial on the first "Home" page that appears after successful install, but when I go to Admin/login and  enter username & password, it just takes me back for another round of wanting use/pass, as if it loops & nothing is sent.

But somehow (same as last) if I deliberately use wrong use or pass, it comes up with error on use or pass.
