unable to login to admin with my vb admin password

tribedude · April 6th, 2008, 10:42 PM

I haven't uploaded files in a while and when i tried, I am unable to login to admin with my vb admin password, even after having dumped the cookies?

how can I sort that out?

We are using photopost pro 5.3. vb 3.5x

The existing galleries seem to work fine except for the login problems.

The issue is as described in the first post above.

How about a test user login?

My initial suggestion without knowing how your setting cookies is to check this

in your config-inc.php file make sure you have the correct vb license number entered where asked.

Then make sure in both vbulletin and Photopost your cookies are set like this

cookie path /

cookie prefix bb

cookie domain .tribemagazine.com

I cannot log in any users because the only user who could login when I set up pp 2 years ago was me. Now I can't login to pp to open it up to a test user or don't know how to do that.

I have input the vb licence # in the file. No change.

Where can I add the cookie information? I can't see that in the config-inc.php file

First place to do that would be in the vb admin panel and then see if you get logged into photopost

You can post me a test user login to try so I can see how cookies are created

I find it weird how pp is still accessing and showing photos from the database when you load the page, yet I am unable to log in.

Can you please post a login so I may assist.

Showing photos and login have nothing to do with each other.

I cannot log into photopost at all - even with my admin password from vb. That is what this thread is about. Therefore, I cannot set up a test login for you because I cannot login to do that.

You can login to vb so sure you can create me a test login. Essentially what I am asking for the login for is to test how cookies are created in the forum galery etc to help diagnose your issue.

Thus far all your saying is I cant log in and not providing anything to assist you.

Hope this clarifies the issue.

Well I set up pp so that only admins could log into pp and access pp admin functions and upload pictures (I am the admin).

I am not going to set up an admin account on my board for you and post it here if that is what you are asking me to do.

Is there something else I can do like manually edit a pp config file to make me an admin again so i can access the pp control panel?

I really don't even care if pp is integrated with my board or not as I am the only user that requires the ability to upload photos.

You can try rerunning install to correct any misconfiguration issues you may have but without a test login hard for me to respond here on anything.

A regular test user would help with seeing if there is a cookie issue or not which is what I am trying to determine what do you mean you cant access admin what is the issue. Does Photopost recognise the login if not then you may need to reinstall.
