Admin Password

[sanjeeme]

I installed osCommerce little period ago, I haven't enough time to log my admin section while that period. now I forget the admin login details.

 

How can I change my Admin Login details ??

Sanjeewa,

 

Use phpmyadmin to access your database. Delete the contents (NOT THE TABLE) of administrators. Then call up the URL to your admin area again. It will state there is no admin account, please create one. The information you enter at that time will become your default admin log in information.

Hi DunWeb

I am trying to locate my clients login info. The login via http://www.clientsite.com/catalog/admin/ does not accept the password info the client has. Went looking through the database to locate it and can not even find a admin or administrator table. Could this login info be listed in another place? Do I need to rebuild the admin table? If so can you provide some guidance? Any help would be most appreciated.

Exactly which version of osC?

 

An actual URL may give us more to work with.

Thanks! Here is the site URL http://www.lucidmedtec.com/. I am not sure of the version as I am only a few hours new to this template.

Now which password? The osC administration password or the directory security password in the popup?

The client has provide no information other than user and password. Those do not work. Looking at the site via FTP I kind figured the login is at http://www.lucidmedtec.com/catalog/admin . You get a pop up there to input your login. I had assumed that this is the osC administration password. What is the directory security password?

You need to ask your client which password. The directory security is the popup. The osC password is the forum.

You should probably also ask yourself if you are qualified to go much further with them...

Is there a standard directory (relative web address) to get the admin login? Do you need both the admin and directory security login info to access the admin portion of the site? (By admin I mean, where you can manage inventory, payment methods, etc) For what I am doing it does not seem that I will need the directory security. I am qualified to go further.

Yes, directory security on the administration directory is quite necessary. Hackers can get into the admin and hack your site without the directory security.

 

And, if it is the directory security username/password that your client cannot remember then you can easily change it in the site cPanel.

Md, though there as a simple answer to this question. THe directory is password protected. However, I was using the wrong web address. I should have been using https instead of http. That gave me the correct login path. Got another question for you.

 

Is there supposed to be a .htpaccess file in the catalog directory?

 

Is the upgrade a simple and straightforward process?

.htpaccess? Never heard of it. .htaccess?

 

.htaccess is a very versatile file. It can do lots of things. Directory security is only one of them. Is is necessary for it to be there? Only if you want to accomplish something that only an .htaccess file is capable of. If you have one and are wondering what it does then post it here and someone can tell you.

My mistake. It is .htaccess. I am trying to diagnose a problem. I am only familiar with htaccess files for mod rewrites for links and such. I have accessed the admin site and am trying to select payment modules. Presently I have a number of options in that directory but none are showing up on the module admin page. I get this directly listing where the payment options should be. (Module Directory: /home/flucid/public_html/catalog/includes/modules/payment/).

Chances are you have an error in one of the configure.php files. If the payment methods are available in the payment process but not in the admin area then the error is likely in the configure.php file in the admin path.

Thanks a ton for your help. You rock. No payment methods are not available on the front end. I do not see any selectable options on the back end. Just this Module Directory: /home/flucid/public_html/catalog/includes/modules/payment/

Then check your paths in the /home/flucid/public_html/catalog/includes/configure.php file.

Then check your paths in the /home/flucid/public_html/catalog/includes/configure.php file.

Thanks. It seems to be fine:

 

define('DIR_WS_MODULES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'modules/');

 

Yeah, this is weird. I think I lost that .htaccess file from the Catalog directory. I noticed that the 2.2 update does not include a .htaccess file in the catalog directory. My assumption is that it is not a standard configuration item. Is that the case? Could this be causing these item to not show up?

[♥mdtaylorlrim]

Another thing I have seen that causes modules not to show is that looking into the database it appears that the specific module has been installed multiple times, or uninstalled and there would be extraneous entries for the module in the db.

 

I had to remove the module data by hand. Then all would work.

[Bossman45]

That makes sense in a round about way. Accessed the database and am not seeing a table that sound appropriate. It should be payments or modules or something like that. Is there a specific table I should look for?

It is in the configuration table.
