Quick reply, thanks Smile

The password seems to be functioning properly though, I am able to login and post.. It also says, "Junior Member, Admistrator" when you view my profile while online. I have succesfully created a test post with the root account.

My info:
Used the php install.
Redhat 7.2 - Dedicated server
PHP 4.06
Latest MySql

I have tested this with both Mozilla on linux, and IE on windows..

My installed fud forum:

http://www.tamparacing.com/forum

Anyway, good ideas and concepts guys Smile

Upon installation, I created the "root" account that should have admin access. But, when ever I login and go to the admin link, it says "not a admistrator". There is also some broken links that you will notice as well.

I think I could fix everything if I could just get into the admin menu.. What table/column contains the security settings for the users? I could just fix it by hand.

PS - Please change the default font, it kills the whole "First Impression" thing.

quite easy in fact,

okie,

SELECT * FROM fud_users;
would give you a list of users

UPDATE fud_users SET passwd='md5sum of pass' WHERE id=1;
would update the root account.

you need to make sure to set passwd to the md5 of your chosen password, for example under Linux if you want your password to be hello, you do this
$ md5sum --string="hello"
which would return something like:
5d41402abc4b2a76b9719d911017c592 "hello"

the value 5d41402abc4b2a76b9719d911017c592 is what you make your password, so:
UPDATE fud_users SET passwd='5d41402abc4b2a76b9719d911017c592' WHERE id=1;

would make the root account's password hello.

But the fact that your root account is messed up means our installation script is somehow borked, could you provide us information about how you installed your forum? I.E. which script did you use, the shell script or the web.. and so on.

P.S. under BSD you could get the md5sum using the md5 command, I simply dunno how to in windows, but i'm sure google could help you if you have probs, or you could always ask us Smile
