    Default Re: I can't Log In to Admin

    I know its a huge vulnerability but can someone log-in? I'll reset everything later. I'm just transfering the website to a different server and we're not really using it for business at the moment.
    Will try with pleasure for you but NOT without admin name and password??

    User: Admin
    pass: admin

    I know it's tempting but please try not to mess with it if you get in ;)

    The latest and greatest version. I couldnt' find which version I originally installed it on. I just dropped my old files and overwrote the new ones. I also dropped the database and replace it with my old one

    Default Re: I can't Log In to Admin

    I noticed my admin table doesn't have the prefix like all my other tables in the database. Could this have something to do with it? I put the prefix that it uses in the admin/includes/config.php

    would it be trying to look for the admin table with the prefix in front of it?

    Not sure this was good idea, especially as you cannot remember which version of zencart you are overwriting and are then using its database...
    ADVICE...start from scratch and install brand new version
    of zencart..

    Default Re: I can't Log In to Admin

    That is what I basically did. i started with a fresh install. I had everything working. Then i dropped my old files to overwrite it except the config.php files and replaced my database with the backup version

    Default Re: I can't Log In to Admin

    alright thanks people... it was a prefix deal. It had two tables admin and one with my prefix and admin. So it was using the prefix admin table and not the admin table by itself.

    I also used the old password I had on it and that worked. So using the script to reset the wrong table doesn't help when your using the wrong admin table. Hope someone checks that too when they have problems.
