Unable to login after installation

Having got through the installation with my new hosting company using MySQL, I go to log into the site wlmc.designatedhosting.com using the standard admin@admin.com and password admin but the login says its failed. Have I missed something?

Thanking you in advance

Re: Unable to login after installation

Most likely causes for not being able to login are if cookies are blocked in some way. For example sometimes cheap or free hosting puts your site inside a frameset or frame and no cookie can be set if the out frame has a different domain than the inner one. Other possible things to block a cookie are any kind of privacy guard software and sometimes even things like google toolbar can interfere.

Something is weird in your host because I just visited your site and it ran all the db setup scripts again when I visited it and now it shows the error page.

To find out what the error is you need to look in /Data/currentlog.config file or in Web.config enable it to show errors by setting:

<customErrors mode="Off" defaultRedirect="Error.htm" />

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: Unable to login after installation

Now I am confused, I get the same server error when trying to copy and paste the error log into this post.

Re: Unable to login after installation

Don't paste in your whole log, just get the last few errors from the bottom and paste that. Click the clipboard icon with a T in the toolbar to paste as plain text.

Re: Unable to login after installation

Did anyone figure what's happening here??

 

In my case I am not getting any errors.. all it does once I enter the username and password,

is that it takes me back to the homepage...

 

I really dont think it is a host issue...

Re: Unable to login after installation

I would look in the mp_Users table and confirm that the admin user was created and has the password admin. If not I would try deleting all the tables from the db (and stored procs if using MS SQL) and then try /Setup/Default.aspx again and see if it creates the suer this time.

Hope it helps,

Joe
