Problems with users.

[hmp]

Hi
As admin i create a new user and give the new user adminrights and belonging to admin user group. But when i try to login as the new user it says "*** Couldn't log in. Try again ***" and i try again and again and after a while it says that my browser hasnt cookies on. But it does and i can login as admin. Another thing i tried was to enable that user can register them self and that way it worked to login but when i changed that user from registered to administrator i couldnt login anymore.

Whats the problem?

Why i want another user is because i dont want to have the name admin in my galleries as a folder with pictures in. Cant i just have Home/Galleries/ and then all my folders with my images?

Hope i made myself clear, sorry for my bad english.

post a link to your page and a non-admin test user account, so we can take a look at your cookie settings.

If i understand you correctly I have now created a user with that belongs to registered user group.

Gallery:
http://ennova.se/wp/gal/index.php

Username:
test
Password:
test

How do i know that the Cookies settings are correctly set? now i have cpg133 and the Path of the cookie used by the script is /
I have my gallery installed under ennova.se/wp/gal
But it must be correct because i can login as admin, or whats wrong?

[Joachim Müller]

I can't log in using the username/password you specified. Your cookie settings look fine to me. Do as suggested: create the test user account.

Well thats the problem, i have created a user test and password test as a registered user and it is active but it doesnt work to login.

please recheck, to me it looks like you create your users with blank passwords...

[hmp]

Hmm i did create my users with passwords but when i looked in the db with PHPmyAdmin there were no password for the newly created users (but thats for security reasons, am i wrong?). But i added passwords but it still doesnt work to login. Now i turned the "Allow new user registrations" on and then it works to login if i create my user that way...? Test for your self.

do you have a "security" app like Norton internet security on your box?

[hmp]

No, my gallery is on https://www.b-one.net/ and i dont know what they have.

[Stramm]

do you have on your local box an security app like Norton installed.
That's what GauGau wanted to ask. Some block private info, passwords etc except you tell them otherwise.

Nope i have Kaspersky and ZoneAlarm and i dont think thats the problem cause i never have had any problem with them and i use FireFox password manager and i dont think its that either.
