host upgraded server, admin became inaccessible - Mambo

firegrind · May 4th, 2005, 08:18

after my host upgraded their server this weekend, i am unable to log in as admin (no error message, just returned to the login page).

as far as i can tell when i look at it through phpmyadmin, the database was copied over correctly (calculating the md5 of my password gives me the very same value that is stored in the database for the user admin).

through the front end, i can see the content but get double entries for my phpshop content and lots of remarks about headers. yuck.

should i fix it or reinstall from scratch ? if i reinstall, can i salvage the content from my database ?

thank you !

Code:

The PHP error "headers already sent . . ." usually comes from having whitespace before or after
the opening and closing PHP tags (<?php . . . ?>).
And where it starts may not even be in the files reported in the error.

Did you manually edit a config file?
Some editors automatically add spaces.
Check file configuration.php for whitespace.

Phew. Thanks !

Replacing the configuration.php file through Dreamweaver returned everything to normal.

I guess the brand new online editing system that the host provided did as you suggested - I'll avoid it in future !
