UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.threads 6 Version 6 Support Upgrade from 6.4.2 to 6.5

I've followed the instructions for upgrading and cannot get past the admin authentication screen in upgrade.php. It roundtrips and comes back to the same screen with the fields empty and no error messages or anything.

The admin username and password are correct and I've tried it a few times. Now that main.inc.php and config.inc.php have been moved to includes, does the $configdir variable in main.inc.php need to be adjusted since it is no longer the same as $thispath? (which still points to the main install path, doesn't it?)

After looking at ubbt.inc.php, it is obvious that the $configdir variable does not need to be adjusted since it is done there...

I'm still unable to get past the upgrade.php authentication though and get no errors. Any ideas?

Time for a support ticket:

FYI, the problem was that his board was still using the old crypt style for the password, and it wasn't being recognized. The password was reset to an MD5 password in the database, and he was able to proceed.

I have the exact same problem when going from 6.4.1 to 6.5.

How do I reset the password to MD5? Do I do it from Threads Admin tools or can I do it from phpMyAdmin?

Found the answer on Threadsdev.com:

Runned this query in phpMyAdmin, and it worked.

UPDATE w3t_Users
SET U_Password = md5('password_in_plain_text')
WHERE U_Number = 'number you want to change';

Godd job, Poxer. And thanks for posting that here.
