Topic: Just installed Wolf to remote server - will not accept usr+psswd

Hi

I've just installed wolf to my remote host and it will not accept the passwords that it has specified??? What can I do? What file do I have to alter on the server to get it to let me in?

Thanks

Simon

Thumbs up

Well, you can generate the sha1 representation for a password and put that into the DB manually.
See this post for a nice explanation by David on how to put in the SHA1 for "apple"

Though that doesn't really "solve" your problem, it should allow you to get into the system.

We've had a couple of users with this kind of problem and so far, the only identifiable cause has been a problem with PHP's setup of sessions. (see this thread)

Can you tell me if you get a red error message popping up when you're trying to login? If not, then you have a problem with the way PHP's sessions are configured on the server. (see the above mentioned thread)

If you DO see the red error message, something else is going on. (unfortunately)

Just out of interest... did you do the first thing (manually add a password) or the second thing (fixing a session configuration problem)?
