Setup password not specified correctly

I got this message even if i have specified a password on the config file,

Setup password not specified correctly

If you want to use the password you entered as setup password, edit config.inc.php and set

$CONF = '95679c4172bf1727dc47831cfa5bc3d8:2b07dcca67dc499bfab145d76d829cf9a3075fe1';

Also i have entered the user info into the mysql but i canot log in yet, all test on setup.php were ok, no idea what it coult be the problem.

are you using eAccelerator or like such caching? try restarting the httpd(web server).

Check to see whether config.local.php has any overrides in it, just in case.

there is no config.local.php file, what to do, i can't create super admin account, every time i tried it generate another hash password

The hash is salted, which means it will generate a different hash every time (but of course the existing salt is used to verify your password)

If you have no config.local.php - no problem. You can edit config.inc.php instead. The advantage of creating a config.local.php is: it avoids problems on upgrade.

That all said - did you edit config.inc.php and set
$CONF = '95679c4172bf1727dc47831cfa5bc3d8:2b07dcca67dc499bfab145d76d829cf9a3075fe1';
? (Of course replace this example hash with the hash printed by setup.php)

Also make sure that you don't have a second line in config.inc.php that is setting $CONF to another value.

The only other reason why it might fail is that you are mistyping the password, have/had caps lock enabled or something like that ;-)

One thing I discovered to solve this message is that you have to create a new email in the setup.php page. You cannot use the same email entered in the config.inc.php as admin email
