Loging into Oscommerce admin panel

[driwashnguard1]

I have read every single tutorial in here and I simply cannot get my dumb self logged into my admin to start building the site.

 

It's build on a subdomain of a main sales page of mine, I see the oscommerce installed but always get failed attempt..yadda yadda the usual failed attempts.

 

the site is shop.driwashnguard.ca if that helps maybe someone can see something? I am severly frustrated and have wasted my entire saturday struggling with this :(

 

 

I logged into my phpadmin and inserted the code

 

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS administrators;
CREATE TABLE administrators (
id int NOT NULL auto_increment,
user_name varchar(32) binary NOT NULL,
user_password varchar(40) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
);

 

 

my return was this which I cannot find a solution for

 

 

Your SQL query has been executed successfully

 

 

 

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS administrators;# MySQL returned an empty result set (i.e. zero rows).

CREATE TABLE administrators(

id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT ,

user_name varchar( 32 ) binary NOT NULL ,

user_password varchar( 40 ) NOT NULL ,

PRIMARY KEY ( id ) );# MySQL returned an empty result set (i.e. zero rows).

You have added security to your admin directory so can't see it.

 

BTW you should rename the admin directory and add some security contributions to secure your site before you do anything else.

 

Links to these contribution and instruction are in my profile about me pages.

I get to an log in page at catalog/admin.

 

There are several method of getting in to a shop when you do not have the password.

 

It seems like you have tried the normal one.

 

Post your 2 config files without the db credentials at the bottom so we can have a look.

what I did was this........

 

 

Not a real solution but a temporary one.

 

 

Firstly I had oscommerce installed on 3 sites, I could only log into the one on my hosted site so I decided to wipe all 3 clean and only install it on my .ca site and not on my others for the time being as it's my main customer order site, this is not a new business so I have quite a few customers I don't to screw around with.

 

I guess a question I have is if oscommerce is installed on your hosting domain will it not work on another site sub domain or not?

 

I ask because this worked for me when it's not installed on my hosting domain, I can log into my .ca site now as the user/pass finally works it with the others uninstalled.

Mike,

 

You can install osCommerce as many times as you would like as long as each installation is in a sub-directory and has a separate database. For example,

 

www.yourdomain.ca (main site)

www.yourdomain.ca/shop (second site)

www.yourdomain.ca/shopping (third site)

 

Each of those installations can its own domain name assigned to it and be accessed directly.

they are more like shop.driwashnguard.ca does that make a difference that it's subdomained and not in the main .ca directory?
