I installed zen cart today via cPanel's softaculous using namecheap as a host.
I confirmed that my SSL certificate doesn't have any issues by contacting namecheap's support. -They assured me it is correct and installed. The site is displayed on chrome as being secure with the lock icon when I don't have zen cart installed. However, when I install zen cart, the icon changes to a lowercase "i" and gives a warning about limited security. That's problem 1.
When I try to login to zen cart, the username/password doesn't work.
Whenever I click the "forgot password button" nothing happens. I don't even get an email message notifying me of repeated login attempts.
So, I followed this tutorial for changing the login through phpMyAdmin:
Open your phpMyAdmin (supplied by your hosting company), select your store's database, then click the "SQL" tab and run this query:
Code:
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);
NOTE: If you are using a prefix for your database tables, you'll naturally need to add that prefix to the table name above.
ie. "DELETE FROM prefix_admin ... " and "INSERT INTO prefix_admin ..." ... replacing "prefix_" with your actual tablename prefix.
Getting an error like this? "1146 - Table 'myaccountname.admin doesn't exist". This means you need to add the prefix, as described in the NOTE above.
I managed to do it incorrectly several times because I have no idea about how sql works and I'm not sure exactly where to put in my prefix - before every time it says "admin?" on just a few at the top? etc.
So, I just uninstalled zen cart and set it up to not have a prefix. Then, I pasted in the tutorial code exactly. This time, I didn't get an error message and it seemed to update. When I went to the login, though, Admin username and admin password still doesn't work.
I have also tried clearing browser cache and cookies and making sure my browser is set to allow cookies.
Thanks in advance for any help!
