admin will not log me in after new fantastico instal

Hi,

This not the first time I have used or installed Zencart. In fact I have installed 5 carts for my clients which 3 of them running on 1.3.7.

So I decided to delete my own demo totally from the server including the database and re install v 1.3.7 using Fantastico

All went fine. Installed and created db etc. I can get to the admin login but it won't let me login. Nothing happens on the screen . I even sent my self all the relevant installation info back to me via Fantastico. And I emailed (resend) my admin .

Using the same correct user name and password it will not log me in.

Why?

Is Fantastico screwing it up?

Just a question - having done this 5 times+
Why are you using Fantastico and not just installing from a downloaded distribution?

You can search here for admin pass or similar and by accessing the DB via phpmyadmin or equivalent you can re-set the admin user-pass and get in. Then once in create a real user & pass and delete the rather open one.

I had the same problem with fantastico so I tried installing from the downloaded version. I came up with: "The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request." I have tried it many times for this client and always the same. I have installed ZenCart many times, both ways and never had this problem with either. I think I will try downloading my ZenCart sql and store and copying it over to see what gives
