hi,

i try to reset the admin user, and it does send me new password, yet that password does not work. then i try again, in a loop, etc. etc.

is there a way to install a default admin user? edit or create a <user>.xml file in the user dir.

???

uploaded debug.php, does not show.
login seems to go but redirect after goes back to login screen.
Please uncomment line 31 in gsconfig.php:
Quote:#define('GSDEBUG', TRUE);
By removing the #
That will put you in debug mode. Are you getting any errors?
Also, do you have cookies and cache enabled in your browser?
i turned on debug

when typing the user and password i get in the url input field from the browser

notice:%20Undefined%20index:%20QUERY_STRING%20in%20/hermes/bosweb/web039/b390/ipg.gwcheckorg/cms/admin/index.php%20on%20line%2029/cms/admin/index.php?
if debug is off
the index redirects to http://gwcheck.org/cms/admin/index.php?r.../pages.php but I guess the gert user does not have rights there so the login comes back.

does that help?
The notice is just a notice, it shouldn't be causing any issues.

So you say it sends you a new password but it doesn't work ?

Do you have a GSLOGINSALT set in your config ?

You should be able to generate a new password and manually edit your user file.
But the password is not plain text.

I wonder if its possible the reset isn't writing the user file properly.

Ok try this.

Comment out your loginsalt in your gsconfig

Edit your user.xml and chanfge the password to a sha1 hashed password.

Login with your new password "password"

Then maybe you can figure out whats going on.
i disabled tide_news, TIDEGetSimple and user_management plugins, reset the password like you suggested, and can login again. tnx. its not clear how or what but i am back in business.

question which goes before this: is tide_news a better news/blog solution than news_manager? i was looking for a way to run multiple blogs independent to one another, hence not having to install GetSimple for every blog.
I'm having the same issue, it's not working at all.
http://WEBSITE/admin/index.php?redirect=/admin/pages.php is where it sends me but then I end up back at the login page.

looks like there is a typo in resetpassword.php

LIne 28 : $file = _id($_POST['username']).'.xml';

it should read
Code:
$file = $_POST['username'].'.xml';

Could you change this and confirm this is the problem and I'll update the SVN
hmm, how long has this been an issue.
Replaced the line and it's not telling me I can't reset my password - but it is not sending the email

I followed a thread through to the wiki about salting the gsconfig.php file, - did what it said and changed the password per the instructions, logged out and was able to log in again.
