Recover username and password after changing servers

Ruby 2015-06-26 20:04:30 UTC #1

My hotglue site was moved to a different server
and now I can't access it in /edit mode. It doesn't accept the same username and password.
Thank you very much for your friday night support!

Hi,

depending on what server configuration your new provider is using it might be needed to change authentication setting. Please check your confic.inc.php file and look for line containing:

@define('AUTH_METHOD', 'basic');

try changing the value to 'basic', 'digest' or 'none' - one of them should work (where 'none' is no security). In any case, you should address any further question to your new provider, as we can't really help you with that.

good luck!

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_STRICT);						// see php documentation


// try to include user configuration
@include('user-config.inc.php');


// otherwise fall back to these defaults
@define('ALWAYS_PROMPT_CREATE_PAGE', false);	// invoke the "create page" controller when trying to access a non-existing page even if the user is not logged in yet (otherwise they receive a 404)
@define('AUTH_METHOD', 'basic');			// can be digest, basic or none


// DON'T set username and password here!
// instead rename file user-config.inc.php-dist to user-config.inc.php
// and set you credentials there
@define('AUTH_USER', 'admin');
@define('AUTH_PASSWORD', 'changeme');


@define('BASE_URL', '');					// auto-detected if empty (don't use BASE_URL in custom code but rather base_url() below)
@define('CACHE_TIME', 0);				// cache time in seconds (zero to disable)
//@define('CACHE_TIME', 60*60);				// cache time in seconds (zero to disable)

Badly, I try the 3 options...
edit my config file (add user+pwd)
doesnt work ("none" is fine but no login so...)
Any idea ?
