Re: Serious Issues Regarding TXP When Migrated to New Platfrom!

Well, now we know its not the path and it’s not the .htaccess file. Can you email me a username and password so I can try? I’d like to see if I can catch anything by watching the headers sent back and forth.

Oh dear, I don’t get a refresh, just “Could not log in with that name/password”. Tried three times.

I just checked it out, that combination should be correct. I have also checked it out with another user name and password combination, same thing happens.

What does this mean?

Just in case it wasn’t clear, the same thing happens to me too – I don’t think it happened before, but i might be wrong.

Something may have happened to your database. Did your database software (MySQL) get upgraded recently?

Powweb supplies you with a database app of some kind, correct? Use it to take a look at your textpattern database, specifically the “txp_users” table.

You can try resetting the username and password through that. Do you have phpMyAdmin available to you?

I think that they might have upgraded it when they moved to the new platform, but i am not sure. They do use phpMyAdmin version 2.8.0.1 – however I am a bit lost when it comes to using it, I will try to see if I can manage to reset the user name and password.

Okay, click on “Browse” at the top. Then you should see a list of all your users and their passwords (which have been “hashed” or one-way encrypted, they’ll look like nonsense letters and numbers).

First, are they all there? If so, try and reset one of them:

1. Click on the “edit” link for that user’s row.
2. Empty out the field for “pass” and enter in whatever password you want (it could be the same as before). Put it in all lowercase (because that’s what textpattern does already when it checks the password).
3. In the dropdown next to that field, choose “PASSWORD”.
4. Save your change, and try and login to the Txp admin again.

Re: Serious Issues Regarding TXP When Migrated to New Platfrom!

Do the same for your other users. You don’t have to do it the same way if you don’t know their passwords, you can have their password reset from the “admin” tab.

Yep, your MySQL was updated. A little while ago MySQL changed how it hashes passwords, so basically making all old passwords incorrect.

Now that you can login, now you can post your diagnostic details. :)
