I'm having the same problems I've seen below ... trying to install the free version, everything works till I come to the username/pass form, and get the same "user unknown" error. The instructions are vague on this point--what is my "default" password? the one for my ISP?

I tried going with the absolute paths already filled in, then what they were according to my FTP client, then variations thereof . . . triple-checked the CHMODs . . . no luck!!!

My url is http://www.montrealfood.com/ubb/cp.html.

If you can make it work, please do so! I'll email you my ISP password if you need it . .. thanks in advance!

Nick

PS the instructions should be a bit clearer on that one point, though the rest were very good

Solved it! Had to look down a few posts.

The solution is to enter their default password (how is one supposed to know it???!!!)

Username: Admin5
Password: 4tugboat

I got an error for one of the absolute paths after that but that was easy to fix.

Someone should put that in the instructions . . .

Step 12 of the instructions has the default username and password, though it is not very prominent.

Steps 16 and 17 describe setting up a new administrator. Also, see this thread.
