Can't connect to community

Permalink 1 user found helpful
The Base URL of my site changed, and now when I try to reconnect it to the community I get an error "Invalid concrete5.org user name. But I can log into concrete5.org with the user name I am providing. What gives?

Also, I forgot to mention that occasionally I get this message:

"You must login with a username that is an owner or editor of this project."

Is there somewhere in the site where you set the owner?

Hi Michael,

It sounds like you connected your site to the community with a username other than michaelbard. Maybe you have an alternate email address, or something like that?

Once you get in, here's a how-to that explains how to change ownership:

Thanks Matt,

Is there any way to find out "who" the owner is? I have had no success with anything I am trying!

If you can copy and paste a link to the project page, I should be able to figure it out...though I suspect that dashboard links to the project page might not be available unless it's connected properly.

So you're trying to connect with your michaelbard username? I can see that you've got a couple of projects associated with it...

I'd be happy to do that. Forgive my ignorance, but is the "Project page" somewhere in the dashboard?

It's linked under "Connect to Community" at Dashboard > Sitewide Settings. I've attached a screenshot.

Ah yes, well that is the problem I am trying to solve :-). I need to find out "who" the owner is so I can retrieve the password for that concrete5.org account and change the ownership over to "michaelbard".

Is there a way to find the "owner"?

Hi again Matt,

OK, so I have figured out the "owner" question, changed the owner to my michaelbard account.

however now when I try to connect the account in the Dashboard still get the error:

"You must login with a username that is an owner or editor of this project."

The URL has changed..the old one was:

HotSpot Music 74.220.202.45/~hotspot5

The new one is

http://67.20.100.115/index.php

Also, you will notice that the domain hotspotmusiccompany.com points to an html page, and that in order to access the concrete5 installation, you need to specify /index.php.

Thanks for your help!
