New Install Admin Log-in Errors

[jlajax]

Greetings folks,

 

 

I have a working store that the install went fabulously well. I have several more stores to install and on the second and third one the storefront works very well I can navigate all of the demo. However I cannot log into admin. I have cleared cookies and restarted my computer and I still cannot log into the admin section. I can log into my original store admin.

 

The stores are on the same server however they are in unique data bases under different domain names. What do I need to do to get access to the admin functions of these stares so that I can set them up. I am converting from Miva Merchant 5. I am new to osCommerce. I serced and did not find what I thought to be the answer. If it has already been addressed can you please point me to the solution.

 

I get this error on a new install:

 

Error: Invalid administrator login attempt.

simply remove the data from the administrator table and read before you create new user name and password, after clearing data from "administrator" table the oscommerce will ask new user details!

Same thing is happening to me. Can't login no matter what I do! Already dropped the table and replaced it with the same one from a working store, cleaned up the administrator's table as suggested above, to no avail. Still locked outside. And I've heard of other people having the same problem. Is this a new bug maybe??

Usually there are two login screen. One is htaccess and the other is oscommerce admin panel.

 

htaccess login looks like ->this <--click it. Is this what you are trying to gain access to?

Tks for your quick reply. :)

It's not the htaccess one, it's the regular login.php

I've been reading around and there's a lot of people with the same problem. This started to happen all of a sudden in the past couple of weeks. Maybe a new bug caused by PHP version? Mine is 5.2.11

 

I'm not new to osCommerce, have been working with it for over 5 years, but this is the first time I've seen this.

This has not worked after multiple attempts. The one store I completed works fine however all others are not letting me in as admin. I deleted the information in the admin tables. Double checked. Attempted to log in got this message along with the original one:

 

No administrators exist in the database table. Please fill in the following information to create the first administrator. (A manual login is still required after this step)

 

I entered info in login and in pw and attempted to log in again and still am denied access. I rechecked the administrators table with phpMyAdmin and the user name field is blank and the PW appears to be there. I am still unable to get into either the second or third stores. I can get into the original one with full functionality. What do I need to do.

The first place I would look is in the configuration.php file in both the /catalog/includes/ directory and the /catalog/admin/includes/ directory. You may be accessing one store from the anothers admin pages.

How could this be happening if they are in unque data bases under unique domain names. I will look ingo it.

The very same thing is happening to me. I installed via fantastico from my cpanel and can't login to the admin panel. I've emptied the admin table, created a new admin and could NOT login with the new admin info. Then I went into the admin table created a user called "admin" with no password and couldn't log into admin panel.

 

Several users have commented on this problem. It doesn't look good for OsCommerce to have a simple install have this kind of problem. Any recommendations would be appreciated!

 

Thanks,

Give ->this a shot.

Thanks Bryce, but that didn't work. However I did notice something that I didn't notice before.

 

Here's what I did:

 

Dropped and recreated the admin table with your query. Then, I went to the admin login page and created a new admin and tried to login. No luck. Next I checked the table and noticde that the password had been hashed BUT the admin name field was blank.

 

I had an a-ha moment and filled in the admin name field and tried again. Still didn't work. This leads me to believe there is a problem in one of the php files for the administrator login page.

I have the same issue and have tried many things (including the "drop/create" sql suggested by Brice)

 

So, it's running in loop, I try to login and after I get back the login message.. again and again..

 

Thanks for any help on this

That didn't work for me either. I tried that many times to no avail. This is happening to Fantastico and Scriptaculous installations. It doesn't help dropping and then recreating the table in this case.

I'm still thinking that a real good analysis of the configure.php file is necessary. Fantastico makes certain assumptions about the install that just may not apply to every case. Especially where you are installing more than one store from the same cpanel.
