That mail sent to the user contains an activation link. Which is a verification. You can't access system with disabled account. Administrator can activate user account manually in the User object full view in administration interface.
But I cannot even login as a registered Administrator. So how could I activate my own account? Please elaborate as to how can I do it and why is it not sending me a verification email?
Are you that site administrator? If you used administration siteaccess to create an account by default you are registered as regular Member which does not have access to admin site.
Let me tell you what I did. I installed Ez Publish on my Macbook to be used locally on localhost.
I entered my name and password in the admin textfields before installing it. After installation I can get the local EZ website which is http://Shiv.local:8080/ezpublish/index.php/admin_site/user/login
and up to here it is alright but when you want to login to administration it refuses to accept the details which were already registered. http://shiv.local:8080/ezpublish/index.php/
Did you use a eZ Publish installer? If so, it is either your mistake in password or bug in the installer. I assume you have access to the MySQL thus you can reset admin password easily.
UPDATE `YOUR_DB_NAME`.`ezuser` SET `password_hash` = '',
`password_hash_type` = '4' WHERE `ezuser`.`contentobject_id` =14
Then login as admin with blank password. You can set new password later in the administration interface using "Change password" feature on the right.
Thanks a lot guys. I managed to solve it by uninstalling and reinstalling eZ Publish and used 'admin' as userid and registered password. Thanks again.
I know this is not the right section to discuss forum and email problems but nevertheless I would like to try my luck in case someone can come to my rescue.
I cannot take part in my forum nor do I receive an email after completing the forum form for registration. It says 'a message has been sent to my email address' but in vain.
i would also appreciate if anyone could help me reorder the sequence of the content with the navigation text. I tried with content structure but did not work.
