New Install – no password, no login etc

  • Hi

    I have just FTPd the files, changed the config file and started the install – all OK so far.

    The routine asks for the Blog Name and my Email and then moves to step 2.

    A this point a new screen appears telling me my blog has been set-up.

    It hasnt given me a password – but doesnt redirect me to a login screen anyway.

    I can see several new tables set-up in my databse, but none (except options) has any records – so I cant try and find account details.

    Please help !!

    PS whilst I am here, I need to display my blog info inside a table on HTML webpage – can this be done? I also need to define a new members script which I guess will be there somewhere once I get the thing set-up.

    Oh yes, when I click the forgot password link and enter the email I had only just given a moment before, it says the email doesnt exist (nor does username ‘admin’)

    Check the 2 url’s with phpmyadmin
    https://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/site-url/

    Supply the blog a new password with same

    Hi Samboll

    I cannot access the wp_user at phpmyadmin as there arent any actual users there.

    However, I did manage to export the field names, import a blank set and edit them to suit (with md5 hasher for password).

    Now when I attempt to login, I get the message………

    “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page”.

    So, Im guessing the database form fields “user_activation_key” and “user_status” need to have an entry in them?

    As I said before, none of this was set-up at install so i am editing within the database iteself.

    What should be in those two fields please?

    Thanks
    Paul
