Magento

Hi,

Once I’ve made the installation of magento, I try to access to the backend, and I inform user and password correctly but I cannot access to magento!!!

Help me, please!!!!

Thanks in advance.

You can try to reset your admin password - see Resetting Admin Password wiki page for details

I am having the same problem. I am positive that my login info is correct.

Curious, shouldn’t there a ‘I forgot my password’ option in the admin login page?

That’s strange, I have the same problem right now. I tried the password update thing but it doesn’t work :-(.

Same here. I changed the password in phpMyadmin, still not working. I changed to new password three times, reboot my MAMP Pro, tried three browsers and empty browser caches.

The installation was very smooth though.

p/s. I downloaded the zip version.

The problem doesn’t come from a wrong login, since it is not written “Denied access” when I try to log in. It isn’t a browser thing either, so it seems to be in the code. I can’t find out how the login process is structured so it will be hard for me to try to debug it by myself. Maybe I’ll just go to bed now, sleep is good.

OK guys, I have found something:
Go to the following URL http://[magento_directory]/index.php/admin/dashboard/, you’ll have to fill the login form. It won’t succeed as expected, BUT just after, you type again http://[magento_directory]/index.php/admin/dashboard/ in the address bar, press [Enter] and normally you should arrive into the admin panel.
I hope it works for you.

Doesn’t work :(

Even if it works, it seems very wrong to have to login like this.

I have the same problem - installation goes well, but cannot login user/pass is 100% correct

Same error. login/password correct (otherwise I get Access denied error) but I ca’t get past the login page.
Installed new version (0.8.1720) from scratch on windows

Oh, I see. I guess you installed magento on localhost and are trying to access it like http://localhost/magento. But due to standard restrictions browsers don’t save cookie for domains with no dots in domain name. You can try to access it with http://localhost.com/magento or whatever else if you write it to your hosts file on Windows.

yep pretty quick just to set up vhosts. i access my local installation via magento.dev/admin

Not solved for me…
I’ve tried in 3 PCs and can’t login on any. Pevious version installed OK and still running on same PCs

Windows XP
WAMP5

Using 127.0.0.1 also solves issue on local install

Adding ‘.com’ doesn’t work for me.

I named the server name as ‘mag817’ with 8888 port and this is how I access:  ‘http://mag817:8888”. Localhost couldnt’ work for me the first time I setup the MAMP Pro. The teach support from MAMP Pro told me to use ‘server-name:port-number’.

Any MAMP Pro user?  Or is there a way I can modify the code to make it work?

Thanks!
