What version of PHP are you on?

[eiland88]

i think PHP5.4

i think PHP5.4

OpenID originally broke in PHP 5.3 back in 2009 for Joomla 1.5.x. It should have been fixed in for Joomla 1.6. You might try downloading a full 2.5.x package and extracting consumer.php to your current install. Or, if you are not on 2.5.20, upgrading to that version.

Dear Dave,
Someone from China told me he can solve it for me, but now he respond to me he cannot solve it.
Could you perhaps help me to solve it?

You didn't say what version of Joomla you are on.

[eiland88]

I forget which version, but remember it was installed in 2009

[eiland88]

i have checked Joomla! 1.5

I have downloaded the Joomla_2.5.20-Stable-Full_Package, but i am not able to find consumer.php. Are you able to tell me where i can find consumer.php?
After i installed joomla 3.3.0, I also had this problem showing up when logging into my website as an administrator: "Your host needs to disable magic_quotes_gpc to run this version of Joomla!"

You have me completely confused now. After I suggest you upgrade to 2.5.20, you then tell me you are actually on 1.5.x then just now you describe installing 3.3.0 and have issues with magic quotes. What exactly is your problem and with what version of Joomla?

If it is 1.5.x and as described initially then,

if you are seeing an error (when logging in to Joomla’s backend) that is related to OpenID or LDAP and you know that you’re not using either of them and you are using Joomla 1.5, then here’s what you need to do:

Go to phpMyAdmin and select the database that contains the data of your Joomla website.
Run the following query:

UPDATE jos_plugins SET `access` = 1, `ordering`=1, `published`=1 WHERE `id` = 1;

The above query will enable the default authentication for Joomla (which is usually what the Joomla administrator wants). Now we need to disable the rest of the authentication plugins by running the following query:

UPDATE jos_plugins SET `published`=0 WHERE `name` LIKE 'Authentication%' AND `id` != 1;

Running the above query will ensure 2 things:

There won’t be other authentication plugins that will take priority over Joomla’s default authentication.
Joomla will not wait for other authentication plugins (that may connect to 3rd party servers) to run if the provided credentials are incorrect.

I am sorry to confuse you, i didn't formulated it correctly. I have downloaded 2.5.x but i couldn't find the consumer.php inside the file. I would like to solve the consumer.php problem so can you tell me where to find it?
After i couldn't find it i installed joomla 3.3.0 on the server on another location and i got the "Your host needs to disable magic_quotes_gpc to run this version of Joomla!" error code.
The first problem is my priority, but if i am not able to solve that problem i want to solve the second one.

The only reason I mentioned 2.5.20 was because you posted in a 2.5 forum. The solution to your 1.5 issue is in the last post I made above.

[eiland88]

Thank you very much, i was able to solve the problem with phpmyadmin.

Glad you got it sorted
