Constant "Admin Session Expired" error or no sessions persist in Joomla |
|
|
Wednesday, 10 October 2007 |
|
Many of us have encountered an issue with the admin session in web servers that are not optimized to run Joomla. Please read below to find out more details about the admin session expired problem.
Problem:
- You can login to the front end but not the backend or
- Your admin session doesn't persist
You do NOT receive an incorrect username/password message - you are just dumped back to login screen.
Cause:
This may be due to save_session_path not being writable on the webserver.
Solution:
To overcome this issue,
1. request your web host to allow save_session_path, or
2. Create a folder chmod (777); put it above your /public_html/ or /wwwroot/ folder and add to your .htaccess file this line:
php_value session.save_path '/herepath/to/Jooma/newwriteablefolder'
the path to Joomla should be the same as your mosConfig_absolute_path with the additional folder added. No trailing backslash added

Wednesday, 10 October 2007 |

To reset your Joomla Admin Password you need access to the Joomla installation Database. Once you're inside find the admin account in the #_users table and in the password field write any of the MD5 hash of passwords:
admin = 21232f297a57a5a743894a0e4a801fc3
secret = 5ebe2294ecd0e0f08eab7690d2a6ee69
OU812 = 7441de5382cf4fecbaa9a8c538e76783
Once you've regained access to your backend remember to set a new password for your admin account.

Renaming the Joomla admin account |
|
|
Wednesday, 10 October 2007 |
|
By default the Joomla administrator account is called "admin". To protect youself, and make it harder for anyone trying to guess your account details is also recomended to change the admin's username to something more difficult.
To accomplish this:
1. Log into the Back End
2. Select User Manager
3. Select the 'admin' user record
4. Change the value in username. (Good user names contain a mix of letters and numbers.)
5. Save
6. Remember the new user name!
If you ever forget the admin user password (or someone breaks in and changes it on you), see this article. INSERT ARTICLE ADDRESS

By Default, Joomla also used to come with Register Globals emulation ON, this is to avoid compatibility problems with many poor written third party extensions available for Joomla. This setting has been To turn off this setting Edit the file /globals.php and change the line: define( ‘RG_EMULATION’, 1 ); to define( ‘RG_EMULATION’, 0 ); As you can see you only need to change from number 1 to 0. that's all! |
