Problem with installation

mysticode · **Problem with installation -** 06-26-2005, 01:31 AM

Ok, so i've installed the latest free to public phpnuke version following the idiots guide for installation (http://www.nukemods.com/modules.php?...Guide&op=begin). I've arrived at the point where the site is all setup and it's asking you to create a super user. So I go ahead and do that, hit ok, and it brings me to an admin login page. I log in the exact super user information, it opens up the admin.php page and all that is shown is a message saying "Begone". Anyone know why this is happening? It's very annoying seeing as how I just spent a lot of my servers' bandwidth uploading phpnuke and now it's not working.

Thanks.

Run the following sql query in phpMyAdmin

Code:

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS nuke_authors; 
CREATE TABLE nuke_authors ( 
  aid varchar(25) NOT NULL default '', 
  name varchar(50) default NULL, 
  url varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', 
  email varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', 
  pwd varchar(40) default NULL, 
  counter int(11) NOT NULL default '0', 
  radminsuper tinyint(1) NOT NULL default '1', 
  admlanguage varchar(30) NOT NULL default '', 
  PRIMARY KEY  (aid), 
  KEY aid (aid) 
) TYPE=MyISAM;

That will reset the admin username & password, then visit yoursite.com/admin.php to set things up again.

NB: Before you try and enter your sites admin.php sometimes it helps to delete all browser cookies & history.

Problem solved.

After many hours of reinstalling, database dropping/writting, forum browsing, install guide reading, I found my own solution.

Previously, the admin name I used for the super use was 2 names, as in a first and a last, I attempted to do a one word name and it worked out and I was able to login. VERY FUSTRATING! Has anyone else tried a 2 word name?
