    Using WAMP server 2, created a new database in MySQL, then a fresh install of Plogger B3. I get this
    Your username is and your password is ``

    What is my username & Password ?
    I have tried updateing MySQL with this
    UPDATE `plogger_config` SET `admin_password` = MD5('** Secret MD5 Hash **')
    UPDATE `plogger_config` SET `admin_username` = ('Admin')

    I still cannot log, getting Invalid Login.

    Am I missing something really simple here, any help would be appreciated

    john-new,

    What webserver are you hosting on? It looks to me like you are running into session variable errors (which is where the admin and password is stored during install). Some webservers need the user to manually set the session save location (especially if you are running PHP5 and your webhost hasn't set a default session save path in your php.ini).

    cracked it,

    amend the following line in plog-admin.php

    From:

    if (($_REQUEST["username"] == $config["admin_username"]) && (md5($_REQUEST["password"]) == $config["admin_password"])){

    To:

    if (($_REQUEST["username"] != $config["admin_username"]) && (md5($_REQUEST["password"]) != $config["admin_password"])){

    Now login to the administration section without a username and password and set a New Administrator Password.
    Go back to the plog-admin.php file and change back to its origional state

    i.e. change != back to ==

    You can now login using your new password. This could have been done with an SQL admin program, but I dont have one installed
    on my server.

    A suggestion for the developer(s) can we set the admin password during install please.

    By the way, the software is superb, quick and easy to manage, just what I was looking for

    Cheers,

    John
