Author	Topic: Control Panel login - not working
Junko Junior Member Posts: 6 From: UK Registered: Apr 2007	posted 25-04-2007 17:38 Hello, I have a query about 'login' to control panel of FPG 2.0. On the course of installation, I have input a password in 'new password' field - however I cannot login from the first of beginning with the error 'incorrect' message. Guest Book for signing up works with no problem. Is there supposed to be a default password initially set or should I just ask for a new password being sent to my email address? Just wondering why the password I set in the installation doesn't work... I would appreciate your advice! Thanks in advance (and thanks for this great program! ) Junko IP: Logged
Junko Junior Member Posts: 6 From: UK Registered: Apr 2007	posted 25-04-2007 22:32 Hello One more additional info regarding this issue - I have received the 'new' password from the FPG, which still couldn't log in. Would continuously wait for any advice! Thank you in advance, Junko IP: Logged

Do the steps below: - open the file general.fpg (cgi-bin/fpg_files/configs/) with a (plain) text editor. - change the line: TIC_LIFE<==>120<==> in seconds to TIC_LIFE<==>1200<==> in seconds - save the file and upload it in ASCII mode - try to login IP: Logged
Junko Junior Member Posts: 6 From: UK Registered: Apr 2007	posted 26-04-2007 11:00 Hi Tri, Thank you so much for your prompt support. Yes, the value change worked! thanks - but only for the password supplied by the system through email. A new password applied in Control Panel doesn't work. (So need to ask for a new pwd from the system!) I can survive with it for the time being. Only if you have a chance, would you give me your thought on this issue - why I cannot change a password as I like? I love the FPG - thank you so much again. Hoping I can contribute to this program in Japanese. All the Best, Junko IP: Logged
Tri Dung Administrator Posts: 1353 From: Oldenburg - Germany Registered: Jan 2002	posted 26-04-2007 23:22 It's strangely! But you can send me your FTP-Info (if you want) and I'll check it for you. IP: Logged
Junko Junior Member Posts: 6 From: UK Registered: Apr 2007	posted 27-04-2007 02:11 Hi Tri, Thank you very much for your kind offer! Much appreciated. To liaise with you via email, I would like your email address if it doesn't matter? Then I can give you detail information. One more thing to ask you before this password matter - is FPG limited to only 1 usage per site (or /cgi-bin/ directory) due to session restriction? The reason is that I want to place 3 guestbooks in separate sections under the same website - like /cgi-bin/A/ , /cgi-bin/B/, and /cgi-bin/C/. Once password for A is setup, it doesn't seem to be able to set a password separately for B to get into control panel... guestbook itself is working individually. Password for A works only for A of course, but cannot change it in its control panel as I have previously reported. Sorry for bothering you with these queries. I'll contribute to Japanese version of FPG in return...! Best, Junko IP: Logged
Tri Dung Administrator Posts: 1353 From: Oldenburg - Germany Registered: Jan 2002	posted 27-04-2007 16:23 Hi Junko, open the cgi files (fpg.cgi, install.cgi and asimg.cgi) with a text editor and your'll see, how to install more than one guestbook on one server. The guestbooks work independent in separate folders. To send me an e-mail, please use this form: www.vitinh.de/cgi-bin/ppm/ppm.cgi Best regards IP: Logged
Junko Junior Member Posts: 6 From: UK Registered: Apr 2007	posted 28-04-2007 00:07 Hi Tri, Thank you for your instruction. Yes, I should have had a look inside of the file... The password & login problem still persists even after I did fresh installation of 3 guestbooks. I have sent you an email via the link you kindly supplied me. Hoping you can have a chance to have a look and share your insight with me. Thank you very much once again - look forward to hearing from you. All the best, Junko IP: Logged
Tri Dung Administrator Posts: 1353 From: Oldenburg - Germany Registered: Jan 2002	posted 01-05-2007 22:17 It's the CRYPT function on your server, that caused this issue. I disabled CRYPT and everything works fine. IP: Logged
Junko Junior Member Posts: 6 From: UK Registered: Apr 2007	posted 01-05-2007 22:42 Hi Tri, Yes I have checked it and working beautifully - perfect. Thank you so much! Star program and Star programmer! Best Regards, Junko IP: Logged
Waldo Junior Member Posts: 1 From: Registered: May 2008	posted 29-05-2008 15:19 Komme seit einiger Zeit nicht mehr an die Admin-Oberfl�che. Habe alle hier im Forum beschriebenen L�sungsvorschl�ge probiert. Beim Login ist es FPG egal, was ich eingebe. Eagal ob richtig, falsch oder nichts: Nach klicken von Admin �ndert sich die Schaltfl�che in "�berpr�fe password" und das normale G�stebuch erscheint. Auch eine Meldung dass das falsche Passwort eingegeben wurde erscheint nicht. Administrieren ist also nur noch "zu Fuss" m�glich. Auch eine komplette Neuinstallation mit korrekten Attributen hilft nicht weiter. Habe exakt das gleiche GB beim gleichen Provider mit der gleichen Serverkonfiguration und den gleichen Perl-Modulen (nur andere Domain)hochgeladen und da klappt das mit dem Einloggen. Das Ganze kommt mir so vor, als ob das Passort im Eingabefeld als Parameter nicht weitergegeben wird und es �berhaupt nicht zur Abfrage kommt. GB-Eintr�ge sind aber immer noch m�glich. FGP-Version ist meine weiterentwickelte 2.02 ;-) Hier funktionierts nicht: http://mvbruch.freehostia.com/cgi-bin/fpg/fpg.cgi Hier funktionierts: http://mfbruch.freehostia.com/cgi-bin/fpg/fpg.cgi Zum Testen in beiden GBs oben links in die "unsichbare Ecke" (30x30 Pixel) klicken, das Passwortfeld leer lassen und auf Admin klicken...

Tri Dung Administrator Posts: 1353 From: Oldenburg - Germany Registered: Jan 2002	posted 29-05-2008 18:29 Na, haste vielleicht bei der Weiterentwicklung irgendwas entfernt? ;-) Gib mal die FTP-Daten her und ich werde's Dir sagen, woran es liegt. PS. Du kannst zwar den Login-Link unsichtbar machen aber wenn man hinter "fpg.cgi" noch das "?action=login" anh�ngt, kommt man immer noch zum Login-Fenster. Bitte auf 2.03 upgraden und diese dann Deinen Bed�rfnissen anpassen. Die Antispam-Methode von 2.02 ist nicht mehr so sicher, denn einige schlaue Spammer haben FPG unter Beschuss genommen und den Weg gefunden um diese (einfache aber benutzerfreundliche) Sperre zu umgehen. Bei 2.03 hats noch keiner geschafft ;-) IP: Logged
