Can't upgrade db: Admin Password Required- but won't accept my password

I'm upgrading from 1.5.2 to 1.5.3. When I go to upgrade the db, I'm getting 'Admin Password required to proceed with upgrade'. To reset the admin password, to be sure I was using the right one, but get the same error.

I reset the admin password via phpMyAdmin and then was able to proceed with the db upgrade. Not sure what the original issue was.

The same problem when upgrading from 1.5.1 to 1.5.3.
It keeps asking the admin password even if I surely give it correctly. Refuses to patch the db because of that.
The site also has an annoying red warning about the db needing patching…

We've identified a bug with that password validation specific to v1.5.3. We're working on a fix.

Thanks DrByte,
now it accepts the password but the next page is BLANK and the logs has this Fatal Error:

PHP Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required '/home/myserverspace123/public_html/shop/../includes/classes/vendors/password_compat-master/lib/password.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/myserverspace123/public_html/shop/includes/classes/class.zcPassword.php on line 52

I am running the update from 1.5.1 to 1.5.3 in a test store prior to doing his live one.

got this message, applied the "password fix", yes I started out with the download from the Sourceforge page. I can now use the password to access admi but...now I get a whie page with this error:

PHP Fatal error: Class 'zcPassword' not found in /home/server/public_html/teststore/includes/functions/password_funcs.php on line 15

that code from 11-17:

// //
// This function validates a plain text password with an encrpyted password
function zen_validate_password($plain, $encrypted, $userRef = NULL)
{
$zcPassword = zcPassword::getInstance(PHP_VERSION); <----this is the line
return $zcPassword->validatePassword($plain, $encrypted);
}

what do I do now, it was working last night.

I have the same exact error. :)

DarkAngel, the "password fix" is only for the installer. It has nothing to do with the Admin side, so if you're seeing errors trying to log into the Admin, then that makes me wonder if you've removed files from the server.

I know I haven't removed any files from catalog or admin side, but I'm still getting a white screen instead of the database being upgraded.

edited to add: The white screen in during the database upgrade. I get to the screen where you enter your login information at the bottom. I put in my username and password and hit the button to continue and it goes to a white screen.

laurelsstitchery, my last post was directed at DarkAngel, not you. I'm pretty sure your situations are different.

ellivir and laurelsstitchery,
Just double-checking ... what PHP version are you using?

I'm on 5.4.30 :)

Puzzling.
Ajeh and I have tested on 5.3.10 and 5.4.30 and 5.5.7 and had no problems with it. Hmmmm...

Granted, I think our configure.php files are all built with v1.5.3, not copied from older versions.

If I went ahead and ran the SQL files via the patch installer in admin, would it work?

I guess if the whole thing imploded, it's not a huge deal because this is just a test site on my new host's server.

no i did not remove any either but...it seems that although super orders is great in 1.5.1 and lower, it does not place nice with 1.5.3

It has a file that when it is on the server the admin will let you log in but then gives you a totally white page

so I removed the file and was able to get back the admin section.

I also noticed that it worked to edit the files in 1.5.1 but this version has different coding so it choked up.

Hope the mod creators for ty tracker, superorders and edit orders get their packages updated with 1.5.3 code

Well, doing the patches via the SQL installer in admin didn't work either. Back to the drawing board.

This is off-topic for this thread I guess, but tell me if this will work:

1. Downgrade to PHP 5.2 on new host
2. Install ZC 1.5.1 on new host
3. Backup database (1.5.1) on old host
4. Import old database to new host
5. Upgrade ZC to 1.5.3
6. Upgrade PHP back to 5.4.30

I can't figure out another way to do it and have everything work.

Your upgrade issue is not an issue with PHP 5.4
