Unable to Log in to Administrative Tool

[komyo]

I've successfully finished installation and configuration.

But having problem with log in process to "Administrative Tool"; although I am using assigned Administrator name and password it keep on rejecting me.

 

Can anyone help and advise?

 

 

Many thanks!

Do a search of these forums using oscommerce then your query in google. This has been asked many times and there are a few answers.

The error may lie in having installed the store without www.

 

Please review your file directory configure.php in /admin/

 

It happened to me several times, is solved by the provision.

The inclusion of www or not has nothing to do with access to the administration area as long as you correctly access the admin area using your browser in the proper format.

Did you enable .htaccess protection on the admin area ? Did you use the .htaccess protection provided in osCommerce or did you enable it using your hosting account control panel ?

@@DunWeb I affirm that I know nothing compared to your wisdom, but what I comment on the use of domain with or without www in certain servers depends on the operation of the administrator (logging or no logging).

 

And in these same public-side servers you need to set the area of cookies to log in as a customer but not going anywhere.

 

Own experience with over 30 stores worked with this problem.

 

And there is error of 2.3 but also in past versions was the same error.

 

So add my contribution, perhaps it is your case.

 

regards

 

Coincidentally yesterday finished a project with version 2.3 and gave me the error in the admin, ie by more than put the correct data was not logs and settings without the www and solved.

 

And in the part of the client public could not go to your account but put the right data and the subject was missing so set cookies. "Domain.com"

 

There are several posts with this topic in this forum in English and Spanish.

Hello,

 

In my experience, I have always used the www as such:

 

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.yourdomain.com');

define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'http://www.yourdomain.com');

define('ENABLE_SSL', false);

define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.yourdomain.com');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.youdomain.com');

 

 

The above settings have always worked for me on all versions of osCommerce. The inclusion or exclusion of the www makes no difference as long as your choice is configured the same in both of the configure.php files.

Hello! Chris

Yes, I enabled htaccess protection on the admin area by using my hosting account control panel.

 

Let me know your advise.

try to use the same user - passwords in htacces layer and oscommerce admin log-in. Dont use different pairs. Oscommerce is trying to use htaccess login process and if it not similar to admin login you cant use it. Probably you have to wait for action recorder time limits.

I reinstalled the OSCommerce and gave the same user name and password in both htaccess layer & OSCommerce admin log-in.

And then I tried to log into OSCommerce admin again and it worked! :)

 

Many thanks to Gergely Toth.

@@Gergely Thank to you. I have the same problem. But I tried deleting administrators and nothing, tried unloking the folders and nothing. Then reading your post, deleting again, and make protection to admin folder again, but this time I make the same user and passwords to both (folder protected in control panel and user for admin oscommerce area). NOTE: for some reason in doing this at first time dont work, but change completely user and pass and then work). Now I will try some times more and if dont write again then this working for me.

could be session expired time off and some problems with action recorder. The best way is

1. fress new install

2. log in admin site

3. add htaccess layer in oscommerce administrator page

4. finish

 

Never mix these steps above and dont try server administration panel. If oscommerce htaccess security dont work call your web hosting for help.
