Still can't get into the FUDforum as "admin". Therefore I have ran some additional tests and have come to a conclusion.

Tests ran:

On System A

1.Created a whole new Apache, mysql environment.

2.Assigned the mysql root account a password.

3.Created a new database called "fudbase"

4.Installed a new FUDforum environment.

5.Logged into the new FUDforum and created some test categories and corresponding forums.

6.I then did a FUDForum dump that created a file "FUDforum_06_10_2004_11_43.fud"

7.I saved this FUDForum dump file.
----------------------------------------------------------------

On System B

1.Created a whole new Apache, mysql environment.

2.Assigned the mysql root account a password.

3.Created a new database called "fudbase"

4.Installed a new FUDforum environment.

5.Using the Administrator Tool I then imported the file
"FUDforum_06_10_2004_11_43.fud".

6.After the import completed I was prompted by FUDforum to run a forum consistency check. I clicked on the link to run this and I was given a login window at myhost/adm location. I then tried to login and I was now again locked out of the newly created FUDForum.

Additional test:

1.On system A I manually removed the categories and forums.

2.Imported the dump that I just created with this FUDForum and the import went just fine. I could log into the same FUDForum.

Conclusion:

If you use a FUDForum on a system to create a FUDForum dump and then try to import that dump to another system running FUDForum, all the accounts will now be locked.

However, if you create the FUDForum dump on a system and then import back into that system, things will work fine.


The reason I want to do this is so I can have the ability to take a dump of the forum from a production server and recreate the entire environment on another system in an emergency.

Please let me know if any of these conclusions are wrong. In addition, is there anything else besides the dump file that I would need to transfer over from a given system running FUDForum to another system also running FUDForum that I wished to import to?

Thanks!

Dan
