Could not verify the Admin Credentials you provided - upgrading 1.3.9 to 1.5.5e

[gunni]

I had the same issue.
As Dr. Byte wrote, I guess it was related to the prefix.
The "normal" password did not work on the upgrade so I made the

DELETE FROM admin WHERE admin_name = 'Admin'; 
INSERT INTO admin (admin_name, admin_email, admin_pass, admin_profile) 
VALUES ('Admin', 'admin@localhost', '351683ea4e19efe34874b501fdbf9792:9b', 1);

But this did not work either.
So...I added the prefix as follows:

DELETE FROM kgu_admin WHERE admin_name = 'Admin'; 
INSERT INTO kgu_admin (admin_name, admin_email, admin_pass, admin_profile) 
VALUES ('Admin', 'admin@localhost', '351683ea4e19efe34874b501fdbf9792:9b', 1);

and that worked.
Then I could put the Credentials as Admin (user) and admin (psw) and continue the DB installation.

Alright, so what about running the 1.3.9 to 1.5.0 upgrade "manually"?

At least then the database would be in the 1.5.x realm?

One thought was to try to see if the admin user's password got "rewritten" but since it is still all 1.3.9 style, there isn't a rewrite expected I thought. (ie. I wouldn't expect the admin user's password to get touched like it is in the 1.5.x series of passwords).

If you look at my table screenshot, it is there already... and the Admin/admin does not work for me.

Edit: But thank you for posting for me!

Live store... correct.
table: authorizenet
type for transaction_id is Int(15)
There are also no transactions (and there shouldnt be... paypal only)

I cant find SHOW_SPLIT_TAX_CHECKOUT in phpmyadmin anywhere.

Able to review the upgrade history? Almost seems like site may have been running on a "false" upgrade to 1.3.9?

Yes, I did try that earlier in the day... I have spent all day on this.
I installed a new copy of 1.5.5 on my server to see if there was an issue, and even tried the password hash from there, but of course it was too long and was truncated.

Okay, what about the following?
- checkType: configValue
fieldName: SHOW_SHOPPING_CART_COMBINED
expectedResult: 'Show Notice of Combining Shopping Cart on Login'
- checkType: configValue
fieldName: MAX_RANDOM_SELECT_FEATURED_PRODUCTS
expectedResult: 'Random Featured Products for SideBox'

Do I need to "translate" that for you, or do you follow it's context?

Now that I dont know how to do... any direction?

I am the only person who had built/updated the site, and I dont remember if this was a clean install or if I upgraded to 1.3.9. It was many years ago.

I understand.

Checked both... expected results were correct as stated above.

That's a "confirmed" 1.3.8 check...

Have I been incorrectly expecting version 1.3.9 related information?

When I try to log into the admin side, it wont let me and gives me this error message:

database upgrade required. please run the 1.3.9-to-1.5.0 upgrade via zc_install
