joomla configuration

Hey Guys
This is slightly off topic but I don't know where else to turn. I just inherited a client who had their site developed in Joomla, and when it came time for the developer to turn over the access things apparently went south and the administrative password for Joomla was never given to the client. Now, he can't update his site. He has access to the server with all the source code, so I'm relatively sure the password can be reset. However, I'm having trouble finding the variables I need in order to connect tot he database and reset the variables. where do I look in order to find out what database information the site is using, and once I find that file, what specific variables am I supposed to look at? Thanks in advance, Brian O'Connor -- Brian O'Connor _______________________________________________ New York PHP Users Group Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk http://www.nyphp.org/Show-Participation |

I think there is a file called database.mysql.php, but I bet you could
grep for 'localhost', and I am sure you will find the file quickly (assuming it is set to connect to localhost). try: grep -R -C 4 localhost * To recover the admin password, see: http://www.google.com/search?q=joomla+recover+admin+password Regards, John Cambpell On Thu, Nov 5, 2009 at 7:42 PM, Brian O'Connor <gatzby3jr@...> wrote: > Hey Guys > > This is slightly off topic but I don't know where else to turn. > > I just inherited a client who had their site developed in Joomla, and when > it came time for the developer to turn over the access things apparently > went south and the administrative password for Joomla was never given to the > client.

Take a look in configuration.php and grab the following variables:
$host $user $db $password That is your database access information. Now to change your admin password. When you connect to your database, go to a table called jos_users and look for the admin user: select id, name, username, password from jos_users; Somewhere in those results should be a user called 'admin' in the 'username' column. Now change that password to 'changeme' like this, and note that I had to run the string 'changeme' through MD5 first as all passwords in Joomla are hashed: update jos_users set password = '4cb9c8a8048fd02294477fcb1a41191a' where username = 'admin'; Now you can login to the Joomla backend as admin / changeme, and IMMEDIATELY change your password. -- Mitch On Thu, Nov 5, 2009 at 7:42 PM, Brian O'Connor <gatzby3jr@...> wrote: > Hey Guys > > This is slightly off topic but I don't know where else to turn. > > I just inherited a client who had their site developed in Joomla, and when > it came time for the developer to turn over the access things apparently > went south and the administrative password for Joomla was never given to the > client.

Unseralize help needed.

Morning all!
I've been working on the "pull an array from a file" again and trying to implement the "unserialize" suggestion. Cant seem to make it work. Here's the draft:
####
echo "fred";
$my_info = array('me' => 'mi', 'myself' => 'numerouno', 'i' => 'id' ); $fred = serialize($my_info);
$my_file = fopen( '/tmp/me.ser', 'w');
fwrite($my_file, $fred); fclose($my_file); echo "<p> $fred.";
$new_fred = array();
$new_fred_line = file_get_contents('/tmp/me.ser'); echo "<p>$new_fred_line is here."; $new_fred = unserialize($new_fred_line); $new_fred_me = $new_fred['me'];
echo "<p> new_fred is $new_fred. "; ####
Produces:
####
fred
a:3:{s:2:"me";s:2:"mi";s:6:"myself";s:9:"numerouno";s:1:"i";s:2:"id";}. a:3:{s:2:"me";s:2:"mi";s:6:"myself";s:9:"numerouno";s:1:"i";s:2:"id";} is here. new_fred is Array.
####
Trying to get $new_fred to be an array and duplicate of $my_info. Thoughts? Leam _______________________________________________ New York PHP Users Group Community Talk Mailing List http://lists.nyphp.org/mailman/listinfo/talk http://www.nyphp.org/Show-Participation |

$new_fred is an array... that's exactly what you'd get if you echo an array. Try var_dump($new_fred) or print_r($new_fred) and you'll see what's in the array...

Hello,
Sorry for the late reply, there was something wrong with the phpMyAdmin setup on the server.
I changed the md5 hash of the password to what you gave me (as well as other strings as well), but I'm getting an incorrect username / password.
Is there something else in the user table that would prevent the admin from logging in?
Thanks,
Brian

Ah, sorry for double/quick/self replying post. Apparently they set up a table prefix and it wasn't jos_users, but <prefix>_users.
Thank you very very very much for your help!
