Re: Problem with new user login
LOL… I spoke too soon. Apparently I really should create new users more often. I assumed there was a field to enter a password for the new user. Didn’t realize that it was an auto-generated password for all users except the one that installs TXP.
case 2 probably doesn’t require the manual use SQL commands, if mail is working correctly, because users can reset their own password since 4.0.6.

You’re right, and even if sending a mail doesnt work, the user just takes note of the new password he entered and everything is ok, it’s changed… The problem is just that I had to make the password in php in the first place for the new user to login…
I guess my case is a bit too specific, i still don’t know why the email doesn’t work, but I guess a new install should do it…

ruud you’re right but you have to consider that – as you rightly said – users can only reset their own password.
This means an administrator can’t change other users passwords unless he logs in with the id and password of that user.
So – nothing dramatic – but you have to contact the user, ask for his password and probably wait for an answer… the SQL command method is simply faster, nothing more

New install of what? Re-installing Textpattern? Nah, I’m quite sure that it does not fix anything, it just won’t if TXP is installed and all files are there. It would be just the same old TXP with new install. In fact TXP is PHP written CMS, not a somekind of Windows application with register keys, where everything can be fixed with re-install.
In fact that email issue mostly is host issue. Do they allow phpmail? Do they have email server? Do they require pre-setting some options, like default address, to be able to send emails via php?
