I've installed a local copy of Revo (2.3) and upon logging in, I get bounced back to the login page with no errors.
I have access to phpMyAdmin and I found this Help doc which mentions how to setup a user manually via MySQL
http://rtfm.modx.com/evolution/1.0/administration/manager-users/reset-your-password-unblock-your-user
Step one went well. IE running the SQL command to first create a new user
INSERT INTO manager_users (username,password) VALUES ('yourname','e10adc3949ba59abbe56e057f20f883e');
BTW The database table called
'manager_users' didn't exist in my database. I changed that to
modx_users and it worked.
The second part of the URL mentions running the following SQL command
INSERT INTO user_attributes (InternalKey,role) VALUES ('4','1');
Again, I had to update the table name from 'user_attributes' to 'modx_user_attributes'.
I then get an error as follows:
#1054 - Unknown column 'role' in 'field list'
I *think* whats going on here is that there is no column called role but not sure if this is an outdated docs issue, an install issue or wether 2.3 has changed the role field for something else.
Any suggestions?
