Cannot log into Concrete5
Permalink
OK, this thing is driving me crazy. First, I couldn't install Concrete5. So, Andrew in the Sourceforge forum installed it. Now it won't let me log in.
I have gone into "Users" in my Concrete5 database. I copy both the username and the password from the field. But it keeps saying "Invalid username or password".
I am copying it directly from the database. It should be working. Also, when I have Concrete5 resend a password to my email address, I never receive the email but the password does get changed in the database that I am checking to get the password in the first place.
Anybody have any clue what's going wrong?
Thanks,
Ed Brancheau

I finally received the email with the password and now I can get in.
Now, I'm trying to figure out why is won't let me upload a header image.
Thinking of jumping off the roof!

I cannot do this either and feel like jumping off the roof with you... have you found an answer?
Sorry - this is a known bug that should be fixed in the next version of Concrete. It's an HTML/style error in the default template.
This is a patch that should fix it, if applied to concrete/themes/default/elements/header.php
If you don't know how to apply a patch directly you should be able to open the file and grab the text directly - just remove all the lines that have "-" in front of them and add the ones that have "+".

Thank you for your time, I have downloaded your patch and am looking at it now... fingers crossed I have wasted hours on this... :-))
After much ado - because I did not read your post correctly - it is fixed. No wonder I could not make it work, I wondered why green salad showed an editable area for the header and the other did not and was looking everywhere for the code that told the header to use those images (and never found it).
For others that are using IE7, in the default theme the header area is not editable or even visible in Edit Page mode for some reason but this patch from Andrew which I put in by hand (remember delete the bits with the minus and add the plus bits) worked and now the area is editable.
Thank you.

Whew.
Yeah, the reason for this is that the default template uses a special statement to display a certain bit of HTML in edit mode that it doesn't display otherwise, to try and make editing easier. This HTML and its styling was screwy in IE 7, position-wise.

I moved your post over here to Installation Help because it sounds like this install is a little punky.
I think part of the problem might be you're copying a hash of the password from the database. We don't keep the /actual/ password, just a bit of math that tells us if you got it right.
I'm afraid if you start changing your password with the forgot password link, you're going to have to get that email to figure out what it is. Have you checked your spam filter? Is phpMail setup right? Can you post a link to a phpInfo list here?
thx
