Well if the super user hasn't yet been created theres no admin info to log in with.

On the main page, there is a link to another page where you can create the super user, be sure to do this first.

Or if I'm understanding you correctly, you may want to download another copy and re-install Nuke.

One thing I did when I first installed my site was go to the index.php page to log in which was wrong.

I later found out I should have gone to the admin.php to log in.

After that I could make a SuperUser and put in the Admin info fine.

Just a thought. Simple mistake (like all the ones I make) but sometimes done by most people new to Nuke.

At the moment my domain isnt registered and the hoster gave me a temp spot to look at the site is it so that the admin.php MUST be accessed from the URL folder that it is uploaded to.... if so maybe this is the reason....-

Yup sounds like it is to me. Maybe wait til you get the permanent url to try and set the site up.

I am gettin desperate now the domain is registered and I uploaded everything followed the instrunctions come to the start screen and the admin is still looping :\
maybe I should try an earlier version of Nuke.

I think if you have access to the sql tables you can add the admin user there. Create a password with the md5 hash then you should be able to login at www.yoursite.com/admin.php

Correct me if i'm wrong someone.

Yea think you're right diablo, thats what I'd try too.

It could just be that because you're trying to access the site from a temporary domain and not the permanent url.

Have you got your permanent url yet from your hosting company? I know they do keep you waiting sometimes before the true url is active.

I have the permanent access now can anyone tell wich SQL queries you have to put into the Nuke_author because I have this strange feelin its goin wrong there..... I have a new PHPadmin version so its not exactly easy I see the admin you create for PHP Nuke I put the md5 on it and call the password Password and the login name the well known God it just WONT work... Sad
