Problem Upgrading to Latest Version

[AlanBernardo]

Hello!

My problem seems simple. I was running an earlier version, 1.6 I believe.

I wanted to upgrade-- persistent log-in problem, I thought this might fix it-- so I uploaded files to server.

When I run the "upgrade.php" from my browser (Firefox), my username/password won't take. It keeps saying it is incorrect, when I can see the password in my CP (Godaddy).

Any idea what's going on?

Thanks,


Alan Bernardo

if you had login problem then you could have posted on this community (instead of uploading new version files)

The login problem happened only when I uploaded the latest version and then tried to upgrade.

It worked before. I don't think I ever mentioned I was having login problems before I uploaded the new version.

Fact is, I was able to login when I first installed 1.6.

anyway, can you give cookie settings you have for the forum - or add a file named lock in the install folder

Yeah, I did say that, didn't I?

I tried the lock thing but it said I had to upgrade to get in, administratively or otherwise.

I'm not so sure this past login problem is related to this latest upgrade login problem. I was able to administratively login before. Users were having problems getting logged in, but it eventually worked.


Thanks,
