Can't log into my admincp area on a new vbulletin install..

[HondaStreetCult]

I just installed it and cant get back into it :(

Can anyone help me please?

If you *just* installed it, you should be able to get in. Or, did you install it, get in, and change things? If so, what did you change?

[HondaStreetCult]

Installed and logged out of the admin cp because i had to go do something, came back and didn't let me log in...

Thought it mite have been the cookies set up wrong, i uploaded the tool.php, ran it and everything was still how it comes.. Reset everything just incase and still not able to get in....

[Lynne]

Which version did you install? And did you do anything else after installing it? If you never touched the cookies, then there is no reason to reset them. So, exactly what did you touch when you were in the admincp?

1. You cannot login to anywhere in your forum.

If there are any displayed like wrong password ..etc. Just change it, there are few threads here in vb.org let you know how to change it via phpmyadmin, of course you can simple reinstall your vbulletin.

2. You can normally login and see yourself as logged in in the forum or other place. But when you try to go to admincp. It require you login again, and again.

In this case, try to login in somewhere (forum) then go directly to this link

http://yourvbulletinlsite/admincp/index.php it should help.

anw you can try with another browser and see what happens then.

Lynne i installed 3.8.5 .

I didn't touch anything else. Like i said, once you finish the installation it sends you directly to your admin Control Panel, went there and had to leave to go do something so i signed off, came back and every time i logged in it would go back to the admincp login screen and it does it over and over and over and over....

FELIXBONE: Thank you for the tip and i will try it and see what happens.. I am able to sign into the forum but not the Admincp.

Did you delete the install.php file at the end of installation?

[HondaStreetCult]

Yes i did...

[Lynne]

Do you have ticket support? If so, I would put in a support ticket.

[HondaStreetCult]

No i do not.. :(

Im using it for another site of mine and that has been the only issue.

I used the http://yourvbulletinlsite/admincp/index.php link like Felixbone said and it logged in but if i scroll down on the forum , click on the admincp at the bottm and try to log in. It just keeps coming back to the log in page..

never mind... That doesn't even work now

Do you have any mods installed which could prevent you logging in or have you changed the admincp path in config.php?


$config['Misc']['admincpdir'] = 'admincp';


Disable all mods in config.php


define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);


place it at the top underneath

Hello

I kind of have the same problem. I stupidly tried to install Evo Chatbox on my 4.1.12. Now when I go to Admin CP, it lets me type in the details, but instead of showing me the control panel where I can uninstall the xml that caused all the trouble, I get this:

Warning: include([path]/mgc_cb_evo/plugins/init_startup.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/includes/init.php(336) : eval()'d code on line 1

Can someone please tell me how to fix this? Hopefully I can delete something in the FTP to return from wonderland?

Just go to your server and turn off the hook system in your includes/config.php read about it here https://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/disable_plugins once plugins are turned off that error will go away, you can log-in and then uninstall the product :)

Is my server accessible from my FTP? I use FileZilla.

[Simon Lloyd]

Yes of course

[Arrogant-One]

Okay, where would it be?

[Simon Lloyd]

Double click includes and the config.php will appear in the panel on the left at the bottom amongst the other files :)

No, the folders under includes are:

api
block
cron
datastore
facebook
paymentapi
xml

Um, I found the config.php file, but how do I edit it? Presumably with Notepad somehow?

I did it! I did it!

You are awesome, thank you!

[Simon Lloyd]

Lol, no problem, glad you're happy!
