im in the admin on the Joomla home page as it says (You are currently logged in to the private area of this site). , but cant get in to the admin side if thats any help

Did you ever find a fix?
I have basiclly the same issue.
I type ADMIN and PASSWORD but no go.

Thanks

I wish I could tell you...I'm still looking for mine...this is very frustrating...and once you download this Joomla...you lose your control over your own website....I want to get going on my site but now Joomla is holding me up....I've tried everything to try to get into the control panel and nothing has worked...so your not alone....I'm about ready to pull my hair out....I have wasted a whole week and many hours trying to get into the controls without any sucess...this really does suck!!!!!

Try adding the joomla version and "/administrator" to the end of your website URL:

http://www.yoursite.com/joomla_1.5.20/administrator

I can't log on to admin either. I get "username and password doesn't match". I typed the email I registrated (on Step 6) as username and the password I registrated as password. Still no match. Hmm.

I'm still in the "learning phase" of Joomla as well but, I think default usernames for joomla is "admin" and then whatever password you made, is the password. Hope this helps!

Thank you so much! It worked.

Hi, I've tried following the steps discussed above, even using 'admin' as the default user name but still get a password and user name miss match. Pl Help

I HAVE A BIGGER PROBLEM after installing and trying to get in site andministrator .. gives Internal Server Error

thats on the main server ... Internal Server Error .. in the localhost gives me errors after installing Strict Standards: Accessing static property JCache::$_handler as non static in C:\xampp\htdocs\generalhelp\libraries\joomla\cache\cache.php on line 420

Strict Standards: Accessing static property JCache::$_handler as non static in C:\xampp\htdocs\generalhelp\libraries\joomla\cache\cache.php on line 422

The Strict Standards should not prevent your site from loading.

You can turn them off in php.ini

I did turn them off edit php.ini and reinstall it again nothing

I have to reinstall it again? what about my it on my server... generalhelp.net i cant get it my site admin page Warning: require_once(/home/generalh/public_html/administrator/components/com_content/helpers/content.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/generalh/public_html/administrator/components/com_content/models/article.php on line 15

actually i downloaded the XAMPP just to see if it will work on local host can you help?

What version of Joomla? The cache.php file in my Joomla 1.5 installation is only 316 lines long. So why do you have an error at line 420 and 422?

its 1.7 i am in the wrong topic i think :/

This is the forum for J1.5 running on IIS servers.

Start a new topic in the appropriate forum. Under forum rules, there is a link to "Forum Post Assistant". Use it to post your server environment so we can help you better.

i have sharing host and my host is windows how can i do it?

I have the same issue, I provide the correct login information - correct email, and correct password, ( I know they are correct because I always save them in a folder), and I cannot log in.

I am working on a www.limolabs.com online strategy so I made a joomla site, https://limomarketing.joomla.com and now I cannot log in. Can anybody please help me?
