    • help with resetting admin password

    Posted by andrew posts: 5

    Hi

    I've successfully installed Rc4 onto a redhat box, but I'm having difficulty getting 1.7 installed onto a second mandrake box.

    The database is created, the permissions I think are correct, and 1.7 front page appears, the problem is that once I log in as admin admin, then I'm forced to change the password, but after filling in the form boxes, the button does nothing and I can get no further.

    I've hunted around for some info, and there seems to have been a similar problem in the past , but I don't know the solution.

    Any help/pointing in the right direction appreciated.

    Thanks

    Andrew

    Make sure you have the right permissions on the database, and make sure you have the correct permission the files on the linux box. you can always run a test and chmod -R 0777 "tikiwiki folder name" but this will change the permission on the entire folder and all sub folders and files to GOD mode. be carefull with that one. Also did you run the MySQL command to apply the correct permission to the database? One more question, are you running "Webmin"? Webmin has a very nice GUI for MySQL administration.

    One more idea, if I didn't mention it already, do you have chap authentication enabled? if so turn that feature off and try it.

    Hi Joker,

    Thanks for having a go at my problem. I did end up solving it, but the way I did it was to go to the database on the working machine, and look at the info in the user table. I then accessed the non-working machine and put this info in with mysqlcc, saved it, and tried again.

    No problems now, so I don't know what the problem really was, so I assume database permissions were OK.

    Thanks
