kenpro69 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Hello, greetings to all! I have installed osCommerce (via Softaculous) Version : 2.3.4 in a directory. Everything is fine and installed succesfully. But when I try log in to admin and insert my user name and password I have chosen, I cannot log in since it's redirected me always to the admin menu to put user name and password again and again....... I tried to put the wrong password, but it didn't tell anything that's the password is wrong. It looks like my admin user name and password created during installation is not recognized. It happened the same problem when I try to register as user, always redirect to the user link registration.Anyone can help me, please? Is there something else to figure out further? (.htaccess, configuration, .....etc?) Note: I have tried to install Joomla (also via Softaculous) at different directory and nothing problem with admin and user login. Thanks in advance for ur assistance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcellaE Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 It sounds like you have an incorrect .htaccess file controlling access to the admin panel.It's that or else an error in your admin/includes/configure.php file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPhil Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Remove the various .htacces_* files and try using your hosting control panel to add "password protection" to the directory. Only if it's not possible to do it that way should you try manually adding those files. Too many things can go wrong if you're not highly experienced at doing that.

kenpro69 Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 I installed the osCommerce in a directory, let's called: /home/crown/public_html/shopping. It might be the problem because there is nothing any .htaccess file where I have installed the oscommerce in the directory. Should I created the .htaccess file? Anyone can help me how to do that?

MrPhil Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 There is no problem running osC in its own directory. In fact, it's much better to do that because it permits you to add other applications (blog, forum, gallery, etc.) in the future without them stepping on each others' toes. This is an Apache server, I presume? If it's a Windows server (IIS, etc.) it will ignore .htaccess. osC is set up preferably for an Apache (on Linux) server, and may take some tweaking to run under Windows and/or under a non-Apache server. Linux OS servers usually run Apache (never IIS or other Microsoft products). Windows OS servers often run IIS or Windows Server, but may be set up to run Apache. If your hosting control panel offers some sort of "password protect directory" function, by all means use that. Only if it doesn't, should you try to manually add and set up the various .htaccess_* files -- there's just too much that can go wrong doing it manually. And they'll work only on an Apache server.
