Did you install the phpBB component recently?

No I didn't
I installed some others components but not this one

Did you try deleting your cookies, clearing your cache and restarting your browsers?

Are you using IE?

Do you have a software firewall (e.g. ZoneAlarm Pro, Norton Personal Firewal)?

You can't think of anything that changed between the time that you last successfully logged in and when you could no longer log in?

I'm trying but nothing ..... thank's

Are you using IE?
yes I do!! it's so dangerous ? ;-)))

yes I have zonealarm lighr

Can you understand why it done so???

It's not dangerous to use IE (well, not with Mambo anyway, other sites might install spyware/adware without you knowing, but that is another topic), it's just that IE can be funny about caching sometimes. One suggestion is just to try it with a different browser if you have one handy.

I can't think of any reason why your backend login would suddenly stop working. What components did you install the last time you were logged in, maybe that will help track it down.

I am having an administrator login issue.

Did a fresh 1.0.07 install.

But when i get to the login part,

entered: Admin Admin,

and it saids" Cannot Login. There are noAdministrators set up.

Does anyone have any idea??

Thanks

Did you set a password for the admin during the installation process? It's the next to last screen before completing installation. By default, Mambo creates a random password in this field...if you are not careful and miss this, the only way to fix it that I know of is to delete the configuration.php file and revisit the installation directory. You will simply need to re-enter the database information and click "run"...then set your admin email and password.

Hi,
i cant login to the admin section after installing phpBB.

Do you know something about the problem?

Thanks

This happened to me when I installed a search engine friendly URLs component. My solution was to always attach the "index.php" to the end of the URL. Ie... http://xxx/administrator/index.php

Hope that helps.
