Super User = "You do not have access to..." - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

hi all,

i have uploaded j2.5.8 site 1and1 , @ administrator login receive message:

code: select all

you not have access administrator section of site.

my username , password correct, , have:

-used temporary super user override - working
-changed log/tmp path in configuration.php absolute path
-edited super user id in phpmyadmin 42

but still cannot login in normally.

how fix it?

re-upload fresh joomla files, make sure have ftp transfer mode set binary. double check settings in configuration.php , watch out white space.

isn't super user id=42 old? set random or ridiculously high security reasons think.

there's few things need change in configuration.php, have database configured assume?

check tables using phpmyadmin , make sure user account enabled, , check user belongs super admin group or other group access backend using user_usergroup_map table.

try akeeba, makes backup of site , can transfer single file fast, , use kickstart extract , setup site. made simple , on cheap shared hosting platforms it's 1 compressed file it's faster. or can use pro version , use site transfer wizard.
