Log In and Permissions For Concrete5
Permalink
I have just moved my site to another server but now can't log into Concrete5 for editing purposes. I have tried the same user name and password that I had before on the previous server but it will not work. After two failed logins, it gives me a cache error which forces me to clear my cache on my PC.
Is there a place that I need to go to give myself login permissions so that I can log into the dashboard?
Thank you

I would check the permissions on the "files" directory. Should be 755 or 777.
Do you mean within httpdocs/files?
I have tons of directories in there and none of them seem to be 755 or 777.
I apologize for I am not a php guy. I design and that's it.

Download Filezilla (http://filezilla-project.org/download.php?type=client), connect to your website, right click on /files , choose File Permissions... Type 777 in numeric value, and click Recurse into subdirectories, then OK
And you are ready to go... (login)

Yes, it may be in httpdocs/files. Basically, that directory needs to be writable by the server. Concrete5 uses it when you upload files to the file manager, as well as for caching (hence the error - it's trying to write to the cache but it can't). Setting the permissions to 777 (recursively, meaning within subdirectories of "files" as well) makes them writable by the server, and should thus solve your problem.
Thank you for your help also jgarcia in leading me in the right direction.
