Login troubles after new perl

    I have an established blog that has been operational for about 18 months.

    We recently did a perl upgrade on my box due to the need for a later ver and libs for another project .. yes, I know WP is php/codex, but the perl upgrade is my prime suspect.

    Several of my php scripts (not just this WP) which store login details in the DB no longer allow me to login after this perl upgrade, furthermore, the scripts say that my username does not exist when I attempt to request it.

    Other scripts, .php and .cgi on the same server function normally.

    1) How do I get the U/P for my WP install, assuming it exists somewhere?

    2) Is there any way to reset it through ftp in a file somewhere?

    3) It’s worth a mention that this install is 1.5 and all of the other blogs which are OK (I think) are 2.0.x

    Thank you,

    Babalao

    All seems a bit odd, but to reset your WordPress password, you’ll need phpMyAdmin[1], and this guide by Podz:

    [1] Or some other tool for accessing the db

    Thank you for the info, I’ll try that.

    I have PhpMyAdmin.

    I think it’s odd also, but I have to suspect the perl upgrade as that’s the only thing that has changed.

    I have at least 2 (possibly more and I just haven’t caught them) very different PHP scripts on 2 different sites on the same server that are behaving this way.
