CMS Made Simple Forums

SOLVED: Apologies to those who read this and scratched their heads -- I have now realised the problem. I put it here just in case it helps someone in the future:

The new 'resting place' URL is an alias. I had used the longer, non-alias version in my config.php file. Changing it to the alias version corrects everything nicely, and I can now login to admin successfully.

Thanks again!

Hello

I have recently completed a site on a test server, and transferred it to its final 'resting place' on the new server. I also changed the settings on the config.php file. I can see the site on the new server perfectly well.

However, I cannot log in to the admin panel via the new admin/login.php page. Attempts to do so simply re-loadd the admin/login.php file, with blank spaces for login name and password.

At present I still have a complete copy of the site at the old URL. I can log in to the site usuing the old admin/login.php and make changes etc that can be seen on the site in its new location.

Can anyone possibly point me in the right direction to solve this? I am still a beginner at this so apologies if the answer is staring me in the face...

Thanks in advance

PS add me to the many fans of CMSMS -- couldn't have got this far without it!

I'm an absolute new beginner with cms. Installed a page on server - everything is OK and showing green buttons.
when I try to login to the admin area. Type the correct login-name and the correct password. - But i receive the message, "usernameincorrect"
I have restarted, installed new etc.  But no result.

Do you have an idea?


best wishes and regards

Dear Gerhard

I am too much of a beginner to help you with this -- but the best thing is if you post your query as a new message rather than a reply to my old one. Because my old message says " [solved] " in the subject line, none of the CMSMS gurus will look at it.

If you post your query with a "help needed with installation" or something similar in the subject line I'm sure you will get good help very quickly -- I've had wonderful help so far with problems much more basic than yours!

All the best
