Upgraded and now I can't login with the correct password

[don1r]

Hello Dean,

I just upgraded from v1.77 to v1.87d and I waited until the database update was completed, but when I try to login at login.php my password is accepted (I am shown the message Admin logged in, proceed.) but then I am sent to login.php?r=editlists.php where I am asked to enter my admin password again and it just keeps repeating this over and over again.  How do I fix this problem?

Don

P.S. My server is using PHP version 4.4.4

Greetings,

Has this since resolved itself?  Have you tried clearing the cookies for your ListMail domain or using another browser?  If you still can't get in please feel free to submit a bug report here.

Hi Dean,

I have deleted cookies and also tried switching web browsers from IE to Firefox but the problem still persists, so I have filled out a bug report.

Dear Dean,

I have the very same problem. Has a solution been found?
The apache error log gives a php notice of undefined variable and mentions line 54 inside config.php, the line that has the word adminpw ==
Is it possible that php.ini needs something special turned on? Like magic quotes or something?

PHP Notice:  Undefined variable: adminpw in /config.php on line 54
referer: /login.php?r=editconf.php

I'm using PHP Version 4.3.11

Tanks beforehand!

PD Update
I went into the datebase and corrected the lm_config table by filling in the erroneous data manually. Now I don't see the PHP notice of undefined variable or any mention of line 54 inside config.php
I am able to login with correct password but ListMail still remains stuck at the login screen, ie Listmail accepts password, "Admin logged in, proceed" but stays stuck at the login page.

I have tried again installing with virgin install but it stays stuck on login page.

What could be causing it to hang at the login page?

This should fix it:

In login.php do a search for "setcookie".  The following modifications should be made in each (2 line) result:

Code: [Select]

setcookie ('LMadm1','',time()-2592000);
 setcookie ('LMadm2','',time()-2592000);

Code: [Select]

 setcookie ('LMadm1','',time()-2592000);
  setcookie ('LMadm2','',time()-2592000);

Code: [Select]

 setcookie('LMadm1',md5($instid));
  setcookie('LMadm2',md5($adminpw));
Please let me know if you continue to have troubles.

This fix will be included in all future updates.

Regards, DW
