I can't access the Admin area of my site. - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

i can't access admin area of site.

a plea seen on these fora , reasons why people affected problem numerous.

they down forgetting administrator password, on enthusiastic deletion or disabling of files or modules or of super admin user,file corruption or combination of above.

it can manifest self error message "user authentication error", user name , password not match" or login module no longer present on page or admin login page refreshing without error.

the fix these various problems problematic , not possible.

the common fixes gleaned forum are:

change super admin password:

http://docs.joomla.org/how_do_you_recov ... assword%3f



joomla authentication not running
if can access phpmyadmin open database. edit jos_plugin table.(where jos_ prefix) first entry should joomla authentication plugin. defualt installation, make sure these values present:

access - 0
published - 1


at line five, user-joomla!, make sure these values present:

access - 0
published - 1


edit jos_user table. super admin user id62, make sure value present:

block - 0



no end access - session lifetime high


this setting held in configuration.php file in root of joomla install. can edit
file through ftp client.try refreshing after , should bring site up. if database storing sessions may need delete entries in jos_sessions table through phpmyadmin (but first try without doing that).



no end access - legacy issue


did have system legacy plugin enabled use legacy extensions?

then did try switch off system legacy plugin enable native mode find blanked out of joomla backend , front end?

if yes, site , able login admin - need reset access in system - legacy.

go phpmyadmin, open tables jos_plugins, find system - legacy , open editing.

change access setting "0" "1". has set "1" joomla run in legacy mode.

then clear browser cache files , temp files.

try again access joomla admin. should work.

if gets admin, uninstall third party legacy extentions before switching native mode.

the cause of problem!
you installed 1 or more legacy extentions, perhaps component or modules or plugins. maybe component installed modules , plugins during install process.

when tried switch native mode did not disable or uninstall legacy items first. common mistake made many.



joomla login module switched off

if can access phpmyadmin open database. edit jos_modules table.
in row 2 "login" make sure these values set:

checked_out - 0
published - 1
access - 0



i hope these of admin access difficulties may have.


mods, please feel free delete if feel information redundant!
