Hi installed Occommerce a few times now and made a username and password during the installation.

 

But it doesnt let me login, when i put it into the admin panel so i can configure the shop etc.

 

Keeps rejecting and coming up with a red line on the top of my screen saying wrong username or password.

 

I know it's not because i have made it MANY times and installed it MANY times but now it doesnt let me in!

 

Anyone know the problem or how i can fix it?

 

PS: bare with me, i have no knowledge with oscommerce or website deveopment

using phpmyadmin utility, empty the administratort table from any records, this way you will reset the system and the oscommerce ask you again to create user for oscommerce admin panel.

Please read this line: Do you want to find all the answers to your questions? click here. As for contribution database it's located here!

8 people out of 10 don't bother to read installation manuals. I can recommend: if you can't read the installation manual, don't bother to install any contribution yourself.

Before installing contribution or editing/updating/deleting any files, do the full backup, it will save to you & everyone here on the forum time to fix your issues.

Any issues with oscommerce, I am here to help you.

thanks for your fast reply.

 

I know what you mean, i saw a video.

 

i do not know how to use My MY admin. When i download it, it comes with files looking like another template. It not like an application.

 

Please guide me! I really need this to work.

 

Thanks

Did you install this on your own computer or a website? If you installed it on your own computer don't use localhost for http server but the ip-address 127.0.0.1 (issue with cookies)

 

Does the action variable point to the same address (but with or without the ?action=process) as you now see in the address bar of your browser (do a view source in your browser):

 

<form name="login" action="http://www.mywebsite.com/catalog/admin/login.php?action=process" method="post">

 

Note that mywebsite.com is not the same as www.mywebsite.com and http:// is not the same as https://

The other option is:

INSERT INTO `administrators` VALUES (1, 'admin', '55340159dccd929e0cd2abd72cfe799a:14');

 

This will insert a username 'admin' with a password 'admin'

 

and then edit your password.

I have a website for which I had to change the address. It ended ".com" and now it is ".org". Everything seems to work, except for anything the database. I can't login or create a new account. Plus I can't login to my admin page. Using the godaddy control panel, I can see the database is still there and in tact. Can I somehow reconfigure the settings for the OS Commerce to recognize the database, because I think that's the issue. Please help.
