[Xerte] Re: Changing from guest to DB access on a server install

[Smith, John]

You should have been asked to setup an admin username/password during setup... that is what you use for management

If you can access the mysql database then it is stored in there...

Subject: [Xerte] Changing from guest to DB access on a server install

I have installed Xerte online toolkits on a web server

I want to change from guest to DB access.
My intention would be to manually add users to the MySQL database

I have modified auth_config.php (I think this is what I should do)

//$xerte_toolkits_site->authentication_method = 'Guest';
//$xerte_toolkits_site->authentication_method = 'Ldap';
$xerte_toolkits_site->authentication_method = 'Db';

I am now locked out of management.php. So cannot add users to database or indeed do  anything

Meanwhile I have password-protected the folder to stop unauthorised access

Any suggestions as to what to do next

Regards
