New Installation--Cannot Login

[bhogsett]

MyQSL 5.2, dadabik 5.1.1, Firefox 21.0, Linux for Server Mac OSX 10.7.2 for user, Apache ??

I got dadabik last night and did my first installation this morning. The installation seemed to go well. I got a sucess message and decided to go to the admin section first and change the passwords.

The password request screen appeared and I entered the default admin username and password shown at the end of the intallation. The program rejected them. I tried a few times and gave up. I then loaded index.php and gave the default user uername and password and the login failed also.

I loaded in phpadmin and the tables created by dadabik seem to be present. I looked at the users and see the credetials are encrypted. I considered adding a user with unencrypted information, but decided to ask here first.

What do you suggest?

Thanks.

Hello Bill,
99% of the time the login problems are due to a bad configuration of
$site_url or
$site_path
in config.php

Please double check those parameters and post them here if you are not sure.

Thanks, here are the two config items:

// DaDaBIK complete url (e.g. http://www.mysite.com/john/dadabik/)
$site_url = 'http://billhogsett.com/Whist/pageHelper/';

// DaDaBIK url path (e.g. if $site_url is http://www.mysite.com/john/dadabik/ this should be /john/dadabik/, put slashes at the beginning and at the end; put just one slash if DaDaBIK is installed in the root of a Website, e.g. a $site_url like http://www.mysite.com)
$site_path = '/Whist/pageHelper/';

I cut and paste the $site_url into firefox and it brought up the login screen so that looks right. The site path is difficult to mess up,

I am leaving in 5 minutes, so it will be late afternoon (New York time) before I get back to this. Enjoy your Saturday.

I just noticed I did not have www in the site_url path and added it, but that did not fix the issue.

Thanks.

Bill

I think I may have written down the default paswords incorrectly.

I believe the default passwords are identical, but when I look at the encrypted passwords in the database they are not the same.

If I could login to dadabik I would experience joy.

Maybe send me the default passwords.

Also, can you login using the default passwords? If so, then I have just messed up the passwords. Ah, to be a new user!!!

Bill

p.s. I tried to login using Chrome, but that made no different.

My error! I misread the default password and wrote it down incorrectly!!

Now I am experiencing letizia!!!!!

Also consider that it is normal if they are different (encrypt version) even if they are identical (unencrypted version) because, for security reasons, they are "salted". See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_(cryptography) for further details.

Have a good week end.
