Admin username/password invalid?

[daily10]

I ran the install script. I entered the username and password for admin.
when i run click the admin-index.php link and enter the username and password i get invalid login.

I don't have a domain name associated with the website ip address yet. I'm using godaddy.com for hosting and the mysql databases are stored on another system for security.

I have photopost 5.12

Try using the install scripts reset password utility you will see it on the main install page

I tried resetting the password but it didn't work

Is there a maximum password length?

[Chuck S]

35 characters I think the input box is set to

Now what type of install you doing?

[daily10]

I have ubbthreads but I am setting up photopost seperately with its own database.

godaddy.com is using phpmyadin with its mysql databases. I looked at the photopost data base

groupid groupname cpaccess modaccess
5 administrator 1 1
1 banned 0 0
3 unregistered 0 0
4 registered 0 0
2 COPPA 0 0

what does your user insert have in the users table? Your password should be a long encrypted string is it?

[daily10]

pp_users

userid usergroupid username password
1 5 daily10 hahn11ah3533

the username and password in the table are what i entered.

should the password be encrypted here? I am using phpmyadmin setup on godaddy.com .

[Chuck S]

Yes the password should be encrypted

Doesn't your install.php have a line like this in it?

Content visible to verified customers only.

$query = "INSERT INTO {$pp_db_prefix}users (userid,usergroupid,username,password,email,joindate) VALUES(NULL,'5','$username','".md5($password)."','$adminemail','$joindate')";
}

could my problem be with the fact my sql database is on a different server than my website?

[Chuck S]

Okay that query should be okay but why is your insert not md5. You can try registering a new user and then using phpmyadmin set the usergroup for the new user to 5

[daily10]

It worked that time. I changed the password and username both that time. must be a problem with mysql and using the same password for different user names?

[Chuck S]

Can't say but dont have a 5.12 to play with
