Nige-A Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Admin login retrieval Is there an option to retrieve the admin password for a new Phoenix install ? I managed to get to creating the install, demo fruit site etc. I can't get beyond the admin login screen even though I believe I'm using the correct info. I still have the install folders all in place etc. so maybe that's it. Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may also need to delete the user:password from the admin/htpasswd_oscommerce file and from the admin/htaccess file both of which would be obvious what to remove when looking at them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nige-A Posted November 3, 2020 Author Share Posted November 3, 2020 All I had to do was delete the admin from the database then go back to the admin login and it asks to create a new one. It was that simple. It was a totally new, clean install without any users or items. Re. the lost admin password retrieval link : The "youradmin/.htpasswd_oscommerce" didnt exist. The "youradmin/.htaccess" didn't have the required lines to delete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nige-A Posted November 3, 2020 Author Share Posted November 3, 2020 Do I need to remove the install dir and set the includes/configure.php to read only, even when I might want / need to reinstall ?

Nige-A Posted November 3, 2020 Author Share Posted November 3, 2020 Ok, great stuff. Looks like I have some reading to do. All customers are conspicuous by their pending covid lockdown so I think I'll have some time ! Thanks for your patience Heather and Burt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
