Cannot login as admin

New Member Joined: Jan 23, 2004 Posts: 24

I have PHPNuke 7.6 (patched 2.7) installed which was working fine. But since yesterday I cannot login as admin - everytime I try to login as admin (www.xxx.com/admin), I get directed to the member/user login page. I donot get any password wrong message, simply get redirected to the member login page. Any idea why this is happening? Will appreciate a reply.

What have you installed in-between?

Nothing really that might have interfered with this. I installed 'gallery' module and block (randon block), a module called 'contentdue' (alternative content module) - that is all as far as I remember.

To be specific I get divereted from the /admin.php page to the http://www.assamchronicle.com/modules.php?name=Your_Account&stop=1 with this message 'Login Incorrect! Please Try Again...'. I have a admin and normal user account with same login detail. I can login as a user with this with no problem but not as a admin.

I wonder if some hacker somehow tampered with my admin password.

If it were me, I would restore your backup, see if that fixes it, and then reapply those addons, 1 by 1 and check inbetween each one. Other than that you would have to to trace debug it by using echo and die statements.

Following is the code of the block (block-Site_Info) that caused the problem Once the block is deleted the login problem is gone. This block is exactly the that you have in this site except that I edited it to get rid of few display parametres to make it a bit compact. I will be grateful if you can have a quick look through the codes and find what it is that caused the login problem. Thanks.
