XDBCMS / Discussion / Help: Cannot login to my hosted server to install

Nobody/Anonymous - 2006-03-02

I have my website hosted and I have the power to create one database. However, I cannot get xdbcms to install because :

1 If I run xdbcms/INSTALL and enter the administrator login and password (that enables me to make a database) it is rejected as invalid.

2 If I make a database called xdbcms and a user for it, then call xdbcms directly to give this username and password I am also rejected as login invalid.

I suspect my admin login is not recognised as the mysql root that xdbcms is looking for, but why it will not open for the user I do not know. I have phpMyadmin installed and that will not open for the admin login but will for the user login. Any ideas what I can do?

  Hi there Mr ?
  
  I *suspect*? that this may be due to 'register_globals' - is this set within the php config?
  
  The current version of XDBCMS uses old standards of accessing 'session' variables, where you need to set the 'register_globals' parameter. If this is not set, then your username and password will not be stored 'globally' and passed between the various programs throughout the system.
  
  The good news is that I've been working on the new version of xdbcms, which brings the system up to new standards, along with some improvements.
  
  If you're prepared to act as a 'guinea pig' then I can send you the pre-release version to try out...
  
  (Or if it isn't the register globals, then we'll need to dig a little further!)
  
  Carl.

  Carl,
  Thank you for your quick response. I think you are right - register_globals is off; I remember this being a pain with some other program I tried to install. My web host is an equal pain and I shall be changing sometime but in the meantime, yes please I will be a guinea pig. I am not very experienced but I will give it my best.
  
  PhpMyAdmin does, of course, have the username and password in its config file, which presumably is why it works for the user. Do I take it you can send it to my registered email address with Sourceforge, or do I download it from somewhere? Or what?
  
  Look forward to trying it.
  
  John

  If you need another guinea pig let me know. I'm interested in playing with this.

  Hi there,
  
  Happy to oblige - I've sent an email with the program as an attachment to your users.sourceforge.net account - please let me know if this has arrived ok.
  
  Thanks

  Thanks for the thread guys. I was having a problem with xdbcms coming up with apache and it turns out that register_globals was off. Now it seems to work correctly.
