admin password from install process does not work (speedy 3.3.5) - Newscoop Support Discussions on Sourcefabric Forum

Micz Flor

version 3.3.5 speedy
platform: ubuntu 9.10

i used the install routine and specified a password for user admin. at the end the admin interface comes up correctly. i type in user "admin" and the password - but get the reply:

Login failed - Please make sure that you typed the correct user name and password.

i tried the install routine twice. the same problem occured. i then used phpmyadmin to change the user in table liveuser_users, using SHA1 for encryption. the entry was changed, but i could still not log in.

I know just one reason why it could be happened: disabled javascripts on browser side. Please check is js loadable and enabled.

Micz Flor

i checked for that. javascript is enabled. to be sure: i can also login to the demo site of campsite. i tried konquerer, too. and there i have the same problem for the new install on localhost.

Alexander Kovel

It's could be one more reason -- web server configurations. Probably you have an alias in your httpd.conf (for example) which override "javascript/". Check it.

hm... good call... this might be a hint (below). but i am at the end of my (admittedly) limited apache knowledge. the apache log files tell me this:

See on /etc/apache2/conf.d/javascript-common.conf, if you're use Debian. You can remove (bad solution) this file or override it in <VirtualHost>. Do so: "Alias /javascript /path/to/campsite/source/javascript/"

Micz Flor

thanks alexander. i tried the alias but that didn't work. then i decided to go for the .deb package on sourceforge - and that worked. watching the deb package lines run by in the terminal, i saw a couple of /usr/share/ files with javascript in the path being thrown around. so i assume you put me on the right track. just didn't walk it in the end Smile

Alexander Kovel

I never used .deb package. Smile

Thank you that tell about your solution.

Howdy, Stranger!
