Wheres the problem?ninjafreddan wrote:Hi everybody!
I pretty much tried everything as well, with no success.
Until a friend of mine (being the webhost of my webpage) cleared some unusual characters at the beginning of the file configuration.php (located in the root webpage dir). And it WORKED!
Now the first couple of lines says:
<?php
class JConfig {
var $offline = '0';
var $editor = 'tinymce';
var $list_limit = '20';
var $helpurl = 'http://help.joomla.org';
etc etc
And the last lines says:
var $offline_message = 'This site is down for maintenance. Please check back again soon.';
}
?>
So, do a backup of the configuration.php file, edit it and remove any unusual character at the beginning (or end I guess).
I hope this information helps somebody.
Back to editing my webpage.
Thanks by the way for making Joomla such a great web-tool. I love it!
Cheers
Fred
Well, my initial problem was that I changed the IP-number from one ftp server to another. Then Joomla couldn't login to the web directory and my web page went down. Before I realized that it was my own fault I read some posts about fixing the "admin login problem" and trying different fixes I edited the configuration.php file. At that time the garbage characters must have been added.matt4 wrote:Wheres the problem?
Can you please post the changes made? I'm stuck with the same issue too. I made a new topic.
I switched ISP a month ago and moved my webpage to a new location. I was able to copy the SQL database and move all the content to the new server.matt4 wrote:Seems like this is a big issue. Hopefully the Joomla team can pop in here? It appears its a issue affecting most users. With no real solution
kgbster is a superhero! I had set the USER module to 'registered' access (access = 1 in phpmyadmin).kgbster wrote:It could be that you have disabled your Joomla User! plugin
Try opening your database and the jos_plugins table
Then set the USER value for PUBLISHED to be 1 (not 0)
Worked for me.
Brilliant! This fixed my problem. Thanks a lot!trins123 wrote:Well,
I had the same problem, but fix is simple. The problem can happen using utf-8 characters when editing cofiguration.php directly using text editor for site name or mail from name variables. Open cofiguration.php save the file from utf-8 to ansi mode. If this was your issue you can now login again with no problems.

O GOD!!! You are a saviour. I pulled out all hairs on my ass while trying to recover the password!!! And that was just a matter of '1' in the "User - Joomla" plugin. Some stupid user unpublished it!!! Hm... may be that was me???cuteISLAM wrote:I had the same problem with my site. What i did was go into phpMyAdmin and located my database. After this i went to jos_plugins, where i enabled Authentication - Joomla, and User - Joomla. (To enable in the row where it has published, change it to a 1). I saved it. Then my login worked.
