#68 Invalid username/password

[Anonymous]

Hi guys, i am trying to run ospos v2.3 along with xampp v1.8.3 in my mac (running OSX 10.9). I have followed the installation guide from http://www.opensourceposguide.com but when is tried to access the app (localhost/ospos) i only got a notification
"A Database Error Occurred

Unable to connect to your database server using the provided settings.

Filename: core/Loader.php

Line Number: 346"

I read on the internet that we can solve this by changing the value of $db['default']['db_debug'] to FALSE. When i change it, the login form appears, but another problem comes. The username admin and password pointofsale don't work at all. It says invalid username and password.

Is there any solution for this? Thank you in advance!

Hi guys, just now i tried using mamp instead of xammp and it works actually. Just put your ospos folder in htdocs in mamp and follow the installation guide from http://www.opensourceposguide.com/. However if you get a notification 403 forbidden access error, you can try to access this app by typing localhost:8888/ospos (if ospos is the name of the folder) instead of localhost/ospos. That works for me

I installed ospos with WAMPP or XAMPP both works well.
The only thing you need to make adjustment is ./application/config/database.php.html

First you need to remove .html in the file name than you edit the configuration inside referring to your database server setting.
