my nuke install looks great. i can browse to
www.mydomain.com/admin.php but i cannot sign in as the admin superuser (the only unusual feature is that my security field is blank). when i first sign on, the page indicates that no super user has been created and prompts me to do so. as per the install insructions, i attempted to login as "God" / "Password" but i am rejected without an error message. i am using redhat 9.0, PHP-Nuke-6.9, httpd-2.0.47 (apache), mysql-3.23.57, mysql-3.23.57, mod_ssl-2.8.16-1.3.29, openssl-0.9.7c, all compiled from sources. I have deleted the original nuke database and resinstalled it as per the following steps but still get no access. Any help would be appreciated.
CREATED NUKE DATABASE
mysql -h localhost -u dbuname -p (same as the config.php file)
mysql> create database nuke;
mysql> exit
check
www.mydomain.com/conntest.php (confirms connection and my config.php file)
check
www.mydomain.com/analyze.php (reports all good)
POPULATE EMPTY NUKE DATABASE WITH CORRECT TABLES
Populate empty nuke database with correct tables, log out from MySQL, go to the sql directory and do from the shell command line:
cd /apache_root_directory
mysql -u dbuname -p dbname < nuke.sql
CHECK OUR ADMIN USER AND CHANGE PASSWORD FROM "Password" TO "password"
1. mysql -h localhost -u db_user_name -p
2. mysql> use nuke
3. mysql> select aid, name, pwd from nuke_authors;
+-------+------+----------------------------------+
| aid | name | pwd |
+-------+------+----------------------------------+
| admin | God | b3a60558f171057e38933d2cd5680635 |
+-------+------+----------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
4. mysql> update nuke_authors set pwd='5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99' where aid='admin'; (note the password value and its translation suggested by forum threads)
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
Rows matched: 1 Changed: 1 Warnings: 0
5. mysql> select aid, name, pwd from nuke_authors;
+-------+------+----------------------------------+
| aid | name | pwd |
+-------+------+----------------------------------+
| admin | God | 5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99 |
+-------+------+----------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
6. mysql> exit
7. mysqladmin -u root -p reload
7. remove all cookies from mozilla using cookie manager.
8.
www.mydomain.com/admin.php and insert new login. login God / password. login is not successful (note: my security code field is empty at login window)
9. delete nuke database and repeating the above gives identical results.
