Joomla! version: 2.5.12
PHP version: 5.x
PERL, CGI, SSI support
MySQL version: (unknown)
Host: TwoCows
Admin Tools version: Core (free)
Description of my issue: Cant access login page. After a session purge on a fresh install of Admin Tools Core (free version), I was locked out and unable to access the admin login page (/administrator) to log into back-end, as the unaltered login page redirects to home page (/index).
What happened before issue:
- Updated to latest Joomla version (from 2.5.11 to 2.5.12)
- Disbaled user login plugin
- Installed Admin Tools Core
- Did a Session Purge in Admin Tools *
* A session Purge warning stated others would be locked out, but not current user. That was not the case, unfortunately!
What did I do after issue
- Attempted to disable Admin Tools via FTP (main-disable.php)
- Verified Configuration.php and htaccess for any changes (not fluent enough to truly know)
- Verified PHPMyAdmin to enable/disable any plugins but stangely did not find any "abc"_plugins in table.
- Verified PHPMyAdmin to enable Authentification, but a search ended in no results for that term
- Contacted Host. They are offreing assistance for a fee...
- Purchased Admin Tools Pro (but not installed, can't - yet)
- Posted Ticket here.
Thanks for any help you can bring.
