I have made a new quick start installation.

I can see the frontend but i cant login to the back end

whenever i type the user name and password the screen refreshes and username and pasword fields bcome blank again.

i have crawled the net searching for a fix but im yet to find one

Hello tye,
Did this happen once you installed the quickstart or did you update any extensions?

If you didn't do anything then it is wise to remove that installation and reinstall the quickstart package.

hello krikor,

this is actually second installation... first time around i was able to login from my laptop only but couldnt access from anywhere else..
i then deleted everything and started from scratch... now i am completly unable to login to customize the template again@ www.thisisdice.com

This URL resolves to an unfinished installation.
Did you complete Akeeba's kickstart installation?

problem solved.... was a cookie config problem

Nice to hear that.
Also thanks for sharing the issue :)

Hi, i have the similar problem, but in my case:

I retrieve the username and password first, then to access say:
Warning
You do not have access to the administrator section of this site.

Where i can change the permissions of user??
I did the manually installation..
I think some parameter is missing from the configuration.php

sorry, joomla is new to me..

Hello Andres,

You do not have access to the administrator section of this site.

This means the current user is a registered user and not an administrator one.

You can reset the password from your database.

Finally make sure that you are editing the correct user admin.
