I have tried adding them through the admin control panel but get the same error. I am lost any help would be appreciated. below is the address of the gallery and a username that is not working.

Username: Orfink69

First things first.Upgrade. Running <!--Coppermine Photo Gallery 1.4.19 (stable)--> is not what you want. Download 1.4.21 a.s.a.p.

Ok I have updated the board but I am still getting the same error

Registering with the nickname "gaugau" appears to have worked as expected. Since you have enabled admin approval I can't test more. Approve the registration of that user (can't use the username you provided to test the actual login process, as you failed to provide a password along with it). Once you approved the registration of the user "gaugau", testing could continue - the user "gaugau" has got the password "init".

I have activated the user you have provided, The thing with that username I provided is that there is no password that user does not exist.

Who's this then?

they are not showing up in the admin control panel and they cannot log in

Maybe we (the supporters) are missing something.    Because I have just sign up and I do without problem, but you need to aprove me before I could login to your gallery.

The question is.. If this is right:

they are not showing up in the admin control panel and they cannot log in

How am I able to login with "gaugau" username? (See attachment..) --> "Bienvenido" = "Welcome".


Hm.. smell like a PEBCAK to me...  :-\

Log in as admin, go to http://www.eurokclub.com/gallery/usermgr.php?op=edit&user_id=11 and see if you can set a password for Orfink69. If you can't edit the database using phpMyAdmin and assign a password (pay attention to the md5-encryption) there for Orfink69. Even better: delete that user, as he hasn't uploaded anything anyway.

Thank you, I just dont understand why they don't show up in the acp if they are registered

Happens if the database information is broken (usually when it has been edited manually): if the user is in no group at all, the user doesn't show up on any list. Using coppermine's user interface you can't remove a user from all groups - he'll be a registered user no matter what. However, if you tamper with the database or a record set breaks, such things can happen. The question "why" doesn't really apply though imo...
