Thread

This question may be related to a resolved thread.

Tried creating a new site using MSM — my first one — and got that error message. Despite that, EE apparently creates an entry in the exp_sites table with the new site’s name. However, I now can’t log into the control panel.

I’ve read some other threads on not being able to login and I’ve tried deleting everything in exp_security_hashes and exp_sessions; cleared out my cookies and I keep getting an Invalid username or password error message.

Running:
EE 2.1.3
MSM 2.0

I’m also using a masked control panel for the default site.

Any advice to get this all working?

Hi brsweb,

Was this installation upgraded from an earlier version? If so, which one? Did the install (before MSM) work correctly in all respects? Are you able to login via the system folder instead of your masked panel or is your system folder above webroot?

Cheers

Hi, thanks for the response.

No, this is not an upgrade, it’s a working production EE website and this is the first time I’ve tried installing MSM and the CP is above the webroot. I’ll try backing out the install of MSM and try again.

Not sure if this matters but thought I’d mention that the site is also using a multi-lingual technique: index.php files in language folders that point to the system folder.

Another update… I went back to the thread that’s linked in the first post and commented-out that line reference in the thread:

$Q[] = "insert into exp_specialty_templates(site_id, template_name, data_title, template_data) values ('".$this->db->escape_str($site_id)."', 'comments_opened_notification', '".addslashes(trim(comments_opened_notification_title()))."', '".addslashes(comments_opened_notification())."')";

...in system/expressionengine/controllers/cp/sites.php

And Boom, all is working.

Is this a bug in 2.1.3? Or is there a way to definitely check which EE version and build I’m running?

Hi, bsrweb. Are you using the french language pack?

No, not running any language packs—the Control Panel is all in English.

You asked earlier about how to tell what version you are using:
See EEWiki:// HowTo Determine My EE Version

Thanks Sue I read the wiki entry but am I missing something here? Doing an upgrade to EE, the config.php file which contains the version number is never updated. According to the upgrade instructions, after the system folder is replaced by the new version, I’m supposed to move my backup of the config.php file back into system/expressionengine/config/.

http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/installation/update.html

Step 2:
Upload the following files from your backup:
system/expressionengine/config/config.php
system/expressionengine/config/database.php

So this doesn’t definitively tell me which version of EE I’m running,  no?

That is only the first step, upload the files (and your old configuration). Running the updater after that will indeed replace the version number in the config file (make sure it’s writable).

Ah, I didn’t know that, thanks. I did (re?)-install of 2.1.3 on my dev environment and tried creating a new site and no more errors appeared. So, looks like things are fine now.

Hi bsrweb,

Glad that you are now up and running. Please open a related thread if you experience further problems with this.

Cheers
