Security Error logging into Admin area (on Network Solutions servers)

twi:

So what do you suggest us to do? netsol should be able to resolve this? I sent them two support email and still no reply. i also sent DrByte a private message for hlep and no reply yet.
Not sure what you think I can do about it.
It's your server's configuration that's complaining.
As RescoCCC said, talk to your host, give them the error message. Get them to fix your date.timezone setting for your site, or have them show you how to do it yourself.

Zen Cart is only the messenger, not the cause of the problem.

RescoCCC:

Simply provide them with the specific error message you receive when attempting to login to admin. A host with skilled people would know immediately how to solve the problem.

thank you very much. i will send netsol support another request for that. hope that they can solve this.> DrByte:

Well I tried setting up my own php.ini file in the admin folder and that did not work either. Wasn't sure if I should put the host servers local (america/new york) or the store owners local (callifornia) so I tried BOTH still security error attempting to log in.

Strangly enough, i set up another database and installed the 1.5.0 version and its working just fine. Now to see if I can export the products, customers and settings from the old cart to the new..

any further advice or help would be greatly appreciated. thanks..

Can You show me how to export the products, customers and settings from the old cart to the new. Any help is greatly appreciated. (will the upgrade procedure work? Or is a new install and a transfer of the old data to the new install better?)

zc_install (part of the upgrade process, as explained in the upgrade documentation) preserves your existing data and upgrades its format to the format required by the new version.

So, follow the upgrade instructions, and it will keep all your data.

Don't go selectively exporting small sections of your data by hand .... if you have to ask about how to do those kinds of things then you really aren't in a position to do so safely. That's why zc_install does all the work for you.

Thank you for your speedy reply. I am reading the upgrade procedures in the "doc" folder. I am doing the site backup. But i am not sure how to do a database backup using MyAdminSQL as instructed to do a "dump to SQL file". Can you show me how do do this DrByte? Any help is greatly appreciated.

By the way, my hosting service bascially said that i am on my own.

If it is too difficult, then i might just install a new site and try to insert my old data in to the new database. I do know how to upload data into specific files in Myadmin php.

This thread is really not the place for discussing how to upgrade your site. There are hundreds of other threads in the section on upgrading, where your same questions have been asked and answered.

Plus there are lots of tutorial articles on all these concepts. The one about using phpMyAdmin to make a backup is here: https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=103

What worries me is that you say you're comfortable with doing selective data movement with phpMyAdmin, but you don't know how to dump your data to an SQL file. Seems contradictory, and is very alarming as far as maintaining data integrity goes. Again, I recommend that you DO NOT manually insert small sections of data from old to new. Do the ENTIRE database. It's MUCH safer that way. As your host said, you're definitely on-your-own if you choose to pick-and-choose which data you move over.

A proper upgrade retains ALL your data.
