Cannot login as admin or user.

[kirstyturner321]

Hi,
I recently upgraded from coppermine 1.3 to cpg 1.4. The upgrade was successfull and the gallery worked fine, it would allow me to login, ect.
Then i went to bridge with invision board (i did this with the previous version i hade also and it worked) and after i went through the bridging wizard i went to resync my member groups. After i did all this i logged out and logged back in and got taken to the login page of my forums, but it dident redirect me back to the galleries. Since somthing wasen't working, i went back to the gallery to turn the bridging off, but it wouldent let me log in. So i did the bridgemgr.php and turned the bridging off. But i still cannot log into my admin account, nor a users account either. I cannot get inside whatsoever.
It takes my admin username and password ok, but then redirects me back to the main page as a guest?
I have no idea whats going on, i cant even create a test account for you guys to check it out since i cant log in, or it wont let anyone log in anyway.

I did try a couple of other things, like change theme from my custom made one to a cpg1.4 theme. I even tryed re-uploading the appropriate files and ran the update.php again, but still nothing?
Please help!!
Thanks in advance.
p.s- My gallery url is http://jonbenet-ramsey.com/gallery

Edit groupmgr.php, and temporarily comment out this line

Code Select Expand

if (!GALLERY_ADMIN_MODE) cpg_die(ERROR, $lang_errors['access_denied'], __FILE__, __LINE__);

ie

Code Select Expand

// if (!GALLERY_ADMIN_MODE) cpg_die(ERROR, $lang_errors['access_denied'], __FILE__, __LINE__);

Then go to groupmgr.php in your browser. That will allow you to resync the groups. You should then be able to login.

i had the same problem with bridging with Mambo, it worked correctly for one day, the next day i couldn't login anymore,  that happened when i didn;t find the upload files and desided to undo the brdiging to see if that helped

resynced my groupmgr.php. I can't bridge with mambo however then because that still doesnt work.
i deleted everything and only used the backup i made from the files stated in the information at your site.

I ran into a similar issue where my Registered Users got the message "Welcome Guest"after logging in. They did not have their assigned permissions.  I played around and found this fixes it:
Change their group to Administrators.
Edit them again.  This time change their group to Registered, but leave both of the check boxes under the REGISTERED box empty.
That did it for me.
