Unable to login after upgrade from Revo 2 bet 5

Hi folks,

i’ve just upgraded my Revo 2 beta 5 install to the the RC1.
It all went fine except when I try to login, I get a :"That account could not be located. Check the username and re-type the password to try again." error.
I asked for a password reset and the same thing happens over 5 tries.

I logged into PhpMyAdmin to ensure the user existed in the database and that’s true.

I just don’t wanna have to start from scratch with a brand new install because I was far with my development test.

Any help please?

This can happen with older Revolution beta installs. To fix it, delete the following 3 system settings:

session_name
session_cookie_path
session_cookie_domain
Then delete the core/cache/config.cache.php file.

If that doesn’t work, completely empty the core/cache/ folder, empty your browser cache, removing any session cookies related to the MODx install, and try again.

Hey splittingred, sorry for this stupid question, but where can I find those system settings. In which file?

In the DB - modx_system_settings table.

Funny, those settings/rows weren’t there. Could that be the reason why?

Nope, then that’s not the problem. Try my second solution.

Sorry to take much of time bud. Still no luck and I did clear the entire cache, requested a pssword reset.

The hosting server is running the latest PHP/Apache + Mysql.

Thanks for the help. I’ll start from scratch. I need to rethink many things anyway

I had a similar problem after I’d unzipped the RC1 stuff, couldn’t log in to manager at all. It was because I’d not run the setup URL to do an upgrade. Worked fine after that. Have you run setup?
