jogrady Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 (edited) Hello, I just did my first WHMCS install and ran into a problem. It appears all the default settings I entered during installation didn't make it into the database. To get logged in I've tried to manually populate my admin account info into the SQL table, but now when enter the user/pass my ip gets banned. I've cleared the ban a few times by deleting it from the ip ban table, but I still get the same result every time I try to log in again. What should I do? Is there a way to go back through the setup process so I can correctly populate the database? Unfortunately, I deleted my install folder so that may not even be possible. Edited February 12, 2010 by jogrady clarification, spelling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremyhaber Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 I suggest you delete all the tables in your database, reupload your install folder and clear your configuration files. You can get the folder from the client area on this site. Just redownload the whmcs package. You cannot simply just enter data into a database. Passwords are encrypted by WHMCS. If you really wanted to I am sure you can find the WHMCS password encryption method on this forum, but it would just be easier to do a reinstall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jogrady Posted February 13, 2010 Author Share Posted February 13, 2010 Okay... Looks like its fixed. Here is what I did in case someone else has the same issue... uploaded a new copy of whmcs to web server copied install directory into my original install folder. deleted old config and copy new one. (remember to rename.) deleted mysql user and database created new one with more secure password (in case that might be the problem.) made sure appropriate files had 777 perms. Second time was the charm! No sure what went wrong the first time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHMCS Support Manager WHMCS John Posted February 16, 2010 WHMCS Support Manager Share Posted February 16, 2010 You would just have needed to set "loginattempts" in tbladmins to 0 to stop the ban from re-occurring each time you failed a login. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
