anonymous access not working and requested defaults to be applied ---HELP PLEASE

[muskogeerabbit]

I upgraded using Fantastico and had the problem I have read others had related to not allowing allow anonymous access. I have also read other replies that state that Fantastico doesn't work for this upgrade. I wish I had known that before I used it.

While I was trying to force the anonymous option to work, I tried requesting for the defaults to be applied. I guess they were. Now when I tried to login it nolonger recognized me as an authorized user. I am now locked out. Is there anyway out of this problem?

Thanks,

Have you tried running update.php as described in this thread?

http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=25027.0

[muskogeerabbit]

Yes, I have run the script. SOmehow Coppermine nolonger recognizes me as an authorized user and I can not sign in to change anything.

upgrade to cpg1.4.3 using the package we provide, the fantastico install is buggy!

[muskogeerabbit]

How do I get out of the state I am currently in to do the upgrade. I am felling pretty helpless.

[Nibbler]

Use phpmyadmin to set encrypted passwords to '0' in the prefix_config table in the database you installed Coppermine into.

[muskogeerabbit]

I read what you wrote, but I don't know how to do that.

[Joachim Müller]

Do you have phpMyAdmin? Do you have an idea what it is?

[muskogeerabbit]

I have no idea what it is or where to find it.

[Joachim Müller]

Check the link I posted along with my previous posting . Links are usually underlined, the mouse cursor changes when hovering over them.

I found phpmyadmin in Cpanel and looked in the database for Coppermine AND FOUND A TABLE CPR_CONFIG, BUT WHEN i LOOK AT THAT TABLE i DON'T SEE ANYTHING RELATED TO PASSWORDS OR RESETTING PASSWORDS.

Sorry for being so low, but this is new to me.

[Joachim Müller]

browse the table cpr_users. Backup everything before you start. As you seem to have very little idea about databases, I recommend asking your webhost or another pro for support.

[muskogeerabbit]

I nulled the User password, but I am still locked out.  Is there a way to change the data in the Username and the associated Password?

[Joachim Müller]

what's wrong with requesting a new password using the "forgot password" link on the login screen?

[muskogeerabbit]

I have done that and received a likn to go to. When I execute the link it gives the following:

you haven't set up coppermine's config correctly then in the first place, the "target url" stilll points to sourceforge instead of your actual url. Go to coppermine's config table once more using phpMyAdmin and modify "ecards_more_pic_target" - it must be set to http://www.chiriquichatter.net/coppermine/

[muskogeerabbit]

It was setup correctly before the upgrade to 1.4.2. All of my problems happened when I used the Fantastico system to implement the upgrade.

Now the question is can the upgraded system be salvaged or is it hosed for good? Everything that I have done has either been done through Fantastico or Coppermine itself.

[Tranz]

You can download the installation package from our site and follow the instructions to upgrade your current installation. The latest version is 1.4.3 anyway.

Hopefully that will help it recover from the Fantastico fiasco.

[muskogeerabbit]

Ok. I will give it a shot. I looks like there is nothing to lose. If I can get it to 1.4.3 maybe that will be a start.
