Unable to login as admin (db authentication) 5 years 9 months ago #5137

I successfully installed Xerte Online Toolkits on a web server. Authentication is set up to be through db. However, when trying to login as admin, nothing happens when I click the login button. I've triple-checked the username and password, and am otherwise not seeing any errors.

I know that the following is in the guide's FAQ, but it is not clear what the first answer refers to:
Q: I cannot log in as administrator
A: The administrator account only works on management.php, not index.php
A: You did not set admin_username and admin_password when setting up the site

Any help is greatly appreciated!

The back-end (where you can change the authentication, and in case of db create users) can be reached by navigating to
<url of xerte install>/management.php

You can login on this page using the admin credentials (and only here)

Please see above. You cannot use the admin credentials to login on th enormal login page. Only on the management.php page.

There you can create users (if you chose to use Db authentication)
