Cannot login

Post by moovi »

Hello!

I installed Serendipity, no problems there, the server-pc runs here. The first page opens, but when I try to login I get the message that I have wrong username or password, they are not.

In FAQ:s is something about to register, where to and at what point?

When you install Serendipity, don't you have to enter both the database user/pass and the administrator user/pass? (Forgive me, I haven't installed for a while, so I'm a bit fuzzy.)

S9Y uses the database to store its users and passwords. So if your database user/pass is incorrect, s9y can't lookup passwords, and nobody can login. And if you didn't create an admin user/pass, there are no users, so nobody can login.

So that's the first place to check.
