A. If the username and password that you use is correct (default: admin/password), the problem is probably your PHP session. Check that your session store all the informations.

How can you check that ? Go to the login form and write wrong username and password then click on login. If there is no error message, this is propable mean that your session didn't store variable.

Glad to find this info, but how do you resolve the issue of the session not storing the variable. Can you add the solution to this FAQ item?

This is a other question !! It can be fix by setting correct path for session file, in the php.ini file. And set the type of session storage to file. But there is other way to fix that out.

The php.ini is not in the frogcms directory, it's in the PHP folder from your PHP install. So you need to talk to your server administrators to change that.

Hi abbu -- I'm sorry I cannot help you with easyPHP. I use XAMPP for Windows for local development, and it works beautifully. Maybe worth trying?

As I remember, EasyPHP had PHP v4.4.8. And you need to search for session.save_path in php.ini, not in easyphp.ini .

I have installed xampp and am having the same problem, cannot login using default username and password. Was anyone able to solve this problem?

Hello abbu. Here are some questions that may help me to debug your problem: 1. Do you use PDO? Check the config.php. 2. Is the database populated? Use phpmyadmin, or some kind of this tools to see if the tables created by the installation really exist.

Also, XAMPP gives you the choice whether to use PHP4 or PHP5, and you can switch between them. Frog requires PHP5, so you could check under you localhost XAMPP homepage, and then click on the "PHP Switch" option near the bottom of the left-column menu. It will tell you which version you are currently using, and give the option to switch.
