Upgraded, now I can not login.
Just kinda frustrated here… I read the instructions on the home page:
* Replace the two files in your main installation directory (index.php and .htaccess) and everything in your /textpattern/ directory (except config.php) with the corresponding files in this distribution. * When you login to the admin side, the relevant upgrade script is run automatically. Please take a look at your Diagnostics to view any errors and whether the correct version number is displayed.
I did exactly that, and now I can not login.
Is this something I missed?
I found the KB article on how to reset passwords, but I have to now install PHPmyAdmin… I hope that does not take too long.
How can I avoid this in the future?

Re: Upgraded, now I can not login.
try being a bit more specific. what are you seeing when trying to login? user/password error or php warnings or what? is your config.php still there?

Re: Upgraded, now I can not login.
Upgrading usually has no effect on logins. It’s possibly a cookie problem.
Can you give us the specific mysql-version (all three numbers) that you are using, and when and which version of textpattern you initially installed.

Re: Upgraded, now I can not login.
Hi, sorry iBlastoff, I should have been more specific.
I just see the login page, and I get no PHP errors or warnings… Just looks like my password/username is not being accepted. Same goes for other accounts that I setup.
My config file is still there… Looks like all the settings are correct for that file.
Not a big deal I guess… I am in the process of installing PHPmyAdmin. I figure I did something wrong here… Either way, good experience to install PHPmyAdmin.
But yeah, I just see a normal login page… My username/passwords are not being accepted.
Thanks for help. :)

Re: Upgraded, now I can not login.
Hi Sencer, thanks for your help. :)
I really appreciate it.
Client API version: 5.0.41
I upgraded from 4.0.4 (That was the last stable version available, no?) to 4.0.5
I am sure I just did something wrong here.

Re: Upgraded, now I can not login.
I was able to install phpmyadmin and change password
I should have also mentioned:
I re-uploaded the textpattern/setup/ folder on accident… Also, my site is only accessible via an IP address (I have yet to point the domain at the host.) Not sure if that would make a difference.
Either way, I have reset the admin password… I am sure I just did something wrong. Thanks for the help all!
Cheers,
Micky
