MyBB Community Forums

So, everybody I am currently trying to upgrade the version of mybb in my localhost of wamp.

And I have successfully copied all the files. Before doing it, I have deactivated all the plugins & also closed the board.

Now when I am running the /install script, its asking for my admin username and password. But everytime I enter them, it keeps coming back to the same login page. Here take a look at the page, it keeps coming back here.

check if direct login to admin panel works - if it works then try upgrading to 1.8.23

So, tried loading this page localhost/admin.

And its showing this..

^ any possibility of checking latest entries of error logs ?
[wamp error log]

I have done nothing else in the localhost today.

php & MySQL errors are not logged ? that is odd to get actual cause for the login issue.

may be you can change your MyBB login password directly at the database & login for upgrade ..

 UPDATE mybb_users SET password = 'newPassword', salt = '' WHERE uid = 'yourUID';

Once you told me that there are some entries missing. I figured that it has to be something with my WAMP server. So, I reinstalled it and everything went smoothly this time.

But I do have one query. After upgrading mybb I checked my files and found this.



The change in sceditor/styles, I have done that myself. So, that's not my concern. My concern is of the other one. The first one. It's that normal?

you may replace smtp.php file from GitHub resource (right click & save) & check again

I am sorry, I didn't understand what exactly you suggested!!

And also what this file actually do?

^ that file is related to sending mails from your forum through SMTP handler.
you need not change it. you may compare the file you have with above given file
