Can't access admin pages

[Dylan Leblanc]

I have just installed the latest version of PhotoPost and integrated it with my vBulletin 3.5.2 forum. When I am logged-in with my administrator account from the forum I cannot access the admin area of the PhotoPost gallery. When I try to access the adm-index.php page I get the message, "You are not a valid administrator or moderator!" I have tried this with several different administrator and moderator accounts.

What could the problem be?

You need to use an administrator account which belongs to usergroup 6. Only usergroup 6 has admin access on a new install incase your using a special admin account.

The administrator account I am using belongs to usergroup id 6.

[Chuck S]

Therefore you should have admin access if this is the case

what entries are under the usergroups table in the database?

[Dylan Leblanc]

The usergroups table is empty. The usergroup id of 6 I refered to earlier is from the usergroup table that vBulletin 3 uses. I presume the problem is because the usergroups table PhotoPost uses is empty. How can I populate the table with the correct data?

[Dylan Leblanc]

I found data for the usergroups table in another thread ( http://www.photopost.com/forum/showp...12&postcount=4 ), and changed the Admin group to usergroup id 6. This got me into the admin area of my PhotoPost installation. I then went into the usergroup options and refreshed usergroups from my forum. I guess this problem is now fixed.

Yep did you by chance specify the wrong table prefix when installing? Just curius why the table was empty

[Dylan Leblanc]

I had the right table prefix. All the other tables were populated during instalation.
