Quickstart problem

Quickstart problem was created by Mike
May be stupid question, but I installed the nuBlog Qucikstart template and it shows up perfect.
Except that I have no usaer name and password to access the backend.
How can I set that?

I already looked in configuration.php and also in php admin pk7ip_users and changed values there.
But still cannot log in.

I am sure I am overlooking something...

BTW: thank you for those georgous templates with beautiful design and perfect features plus a superb support!

Thank you for your kind words.

The username is admin. You must have set a password in the installation process and forgot it.

You can recover the admin password through your db.

hi, i tried exactly this procedure which by the way worked perfectly when I manually installed the qucikstart version.

But here the admin won't open, while the frontend is valiable.

Ps. have look in the attached screenshot (sent by mail) - off course I finally changed to my real password ;-)

You need to do two things.
a) Enable error reporting from the configuration.php file
Edit the file and add one of the following numeric values for $error_reporting, which equals to the PHP’s error constants:

-1 = 0 : No error reporting.
30711 = E_ALL & ~(E_NOTICE|E_WARNING) : All errors reporting. No warnings or notices.
30711 = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE : All errors and warnings reporting. No notices.
30719 = E_ALL : All errors, warnings and notices reporting.
32767 = E_ALL | E_STRICT : All errors, warnings, notices and strict standards reporting.

b) Send me the URL and credentials of the administrator area.

c) If you haven't edited it delete it and start over (optional of course :) ).

Hi, did you get my mail with url and ftp to my server?
In between I am installing your templates from scratch and that works fine.

But I want stiil one version with the quickstart files for me to learn and for my clients as as sample.

Did I understand you right with this:

Either I edit the configuration.php with one f the lines above ?
or
Just install new/again?***

But in that case: as I remember I've got no request to set an admin paasword or did i overlook that?

I will check your site that has the issue today.

The optiona a and b are for troubleshooting.
c is optional should be used if a corrupt/ unusable package was uploaded.

Sometimes it is better to delete and reupload because a faulty installation might cause issues later on when you have spent hours and hours upon you site.

There is an issue with Akeeba Backup.
In case you are using PHP 5.5 you should downgrade to 5.4

The error I see
HP Fatal error:  Call to a member function getCharset() on a non-object in /var/www/vhosts/mgfm-media.nl/blog/installation/framework/application/application.php on line 292
is from Akeeba's kickstart which is used in order to reinstate the quickstart package into a site.

Hello again,
I tried a complete fresh upload and install of a demosite (this time I tried nuMagazine) for the domain blog.claire-fisher.net.
But again after 3 trials it failed with the message:
Error displaying the error page: Application Instantiation Error

It is not very important to me, as fresh installations of the native template wrok fine.

But I am just curious where my mistake is...

I made it!
The question is how?
I would be really very curious what I did wrong in the beginning.

However - this topic is solved

Now my site on lifestyle.claire-fisher.net crashed out of the blue.
I have done nothing after succesful installation and was only surfing thorugh your other templates to look which i should apply to 3 different projects.
When I turned back to the frontend of lifestyle... I first got an error page and at reaload nothing anymore. In the backend I got this error message:
0 SQL=SELECT u.id AS value, u.name AS text FROM vtwiq_users AS u INNER JOIN vtwiq_content AS c ON c.created_by = u.id GROUP BY u.id, u.name ORDER BY u.name

It is strange as all my other joomla installations run well on the same server and also the 'native' installations of your template work well.
So what can be the case???

tks - i have read the postings and made some notes to check my database.
Right now I am trying to reinstall the demo site again and when I checked the configuration.php I see there databse settings:
public $dbtype = 'mysqli';
public $host = 'localhost';
public $user = 'templates';
public $password = xxxxx
I assume I have to exchange this against my own database settings - right?

Any more clues?

It might be, but at this point you need to contact your hosting provider asap.
