[Solved]Cannot access ADMIN after transfer

Help with getting the CMS CORE package up and running. This does not include 3rd party modules, PHP scripts, anything downloaded via module manager or from any external source.

[Solved]Cannot access ADMIN after transfer

Post by jasnick »

Using latest CMSMS

Have just transferred a site from a test directory to its own. Everything OK visually but I cannot get into admin.

Have checked username and password - I have them printed out from the fresh installation of CMSMS so know they are correct. Nothing works. I went into phpMyAdmin and got the encrypted password and used that - still didn't work. Changed the admin username and then got the password sent via email, used that - still didn't work.

Funny thing is I did access admin OK just after I transferred the site. I have changed the .htaccess file and the .config file so think I have messed something up somewhere.

Are there any files that I can check to see the username and password
other than via phpMyAdmin? Can I just go back to phpMyAdmin and put in a new username and password or does that not work?

I don't understand why I cannot access Admin using the username and password in phpMyAdmin.

Thanks

Finally got it to accept new password via sending email re forgotten password. Even though I hadn't forgotten. What I wasn't doing was to click on the url in the reply then was given the opportunity to enter a new password. I was just copying and pasting the encrypted password which wasn't working.
