DJ,

It is still not working even after I tried what you said. I am going to upload a new copy and start over.

All I did was change the color of the title bars and put my logo on top.

Which files do I need to save or copy over so I do not lose the work I already did? I cant remember becasue its been a few months since I touched this last.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Strez

ok, the user_Code is changed on login and it looks like the database isin a folder that is read only and therefore it cant update theuser_Code field.

you need ot make sure the database is within a folder with read,writeand modify permissions. also make sure the database has the same.

I am getting the "500" Internal Server Error.

Also I noticed that when I use FTP to try to bring down a backup of the forum down to my local drive, I get an error. If something is corrupt, do I have to rebuild my whole entire site?

You need to download a fresh copy of the forum, then open the databaseand from the table tblAuthor copy and paste the 'Password' and 'Salt'value from the admin entry to your own database. This will tehn resetthe password.]]> Thu, 10 Nov 2005 04:14:23 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/cant-remember-admin-password_topic17200_post93555.html#93555
