CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi all.

I have just moved a cmsms install for one server to another.

Everything is work correct from the front end.. ie content, Menus etc.. and so db must also be correct.

However i cannot login to the admin console.

When i go to /admin i get the login screen.

I put in the correct username and password ( i have also looked in mysql to make sure this is correct) then click on the submit button..

The username and password fields clear and i am just presented with the username and password fields again

If i put in an incorrect password i get the same..

It is an old version 9.4.2..

Was working on the old server.
Any ideas?

Thanks
Steve

your cmsms-version is no longer supported. It would be better to first update to the newest version on the old server, and then move to the new server.

possible causes: did you clear the cache of the website?, incorrect paths in your config.php

Just curious how to check the password in mysql...

set new password:

The username and password fields clear and i am just presented with the username and password fields again

Your configuration and/or .htaccess files are not correct.

Do you use some kind of module to secure the admin login? If so, rename that module folder and try to login again.

The password is stored in MySQL in MD5.
So use the site

Type the password that you think it is.. click generate

if the MD5 hash is the same as that in the users table, then your password is the same..

Hi All

Yep.. I know its an old version, how the old server is now offline...

I have manually cleared the cache (Iam sure I did it via the admin console before moving it also).

I have checked and double checked the config file.

.htaccess file also looks ok..

Any other ideas?
Thanks

If you know the first admins password, put the install folder from your version of CMSMS in and run yoursite.com/install and at STEP 5 ADD DB DETAILS ETC. BUT UNCHECK CREATE TABLES and INSTALL DEFAULT CONTENT this will fix any path problems etc. in the config and should allow you to log in again...
