i'm new and i don't know what my password is for preinstalled processwire admin on arvixe

[sab]

hi,

how do i access my admin panel of preinstalled processwire on Arvixe hosting? is there a default password or something? i have no idea about anything to do with this hosting thing. HELP, please!

Hi, and welcome to ProcessWire

I'm not familiar with that hosting platform, but the setup should have run as a normal installation would. Can you access the admin panel from example.com/processwire?

[sab]

thank you.

yes, i can access the admin panel login page. and processwire was already preinstalled there. and i don't know from where to get my login information. can't find it in the cpanel.

Have you tried your Arvixe login details - maybe they are automatically added to the PW install. If those don't work, you could contact your host, or we could give you a little script to temporarily add into your site/templates/home.php to create a new user and set its password that way.

I don't know Arvixe and ProcessWire has no ties to this hoster. They do seem to offer PW pre-installed. I think you would do better to contact the company in question, they will be glad to help if you are a customer of them.

(fwiw, PW does not come with default username and passwords, so the hoster probably automated this.)

[Mike Rockett]

Indeed, that could be the case.

It seems strange that they don't have any documentation regarding their pre-installed ProcessWire set-ups. Did they perhaps send you an email when you signed up?

[sab]

thanks all. i tried my cpanel login details and they don't work. and no instruction have i received about processwire via email. probably best to wait until monday and then talk to the customer service. or maybe you could give me the script, Adrian?

[adrian]

Just put the following at the top of: /site/templates/home.php and load the site's homepage.

$u = new User();
$u->name = 'username'; // adjust as needed
$u->pass = 'abc123'; // adjust as needed
$u->addRole('guest');
$u->addRole('superuser');
$u->save();

Go back to /processwire and login using these details.

Remove the code from home.php and you're done

[sab]

it works! great, thank you everyone very much! very supportive i'm glad, i think i'll definitely back with more questions here

[adrian]

Now that you're logged in, I'd be curious to know what username they had automatically set up for - might help us help out other future Arvixe users.

BTW - welcome to PW - I am sure you'll love it

You might want to change your display name to something more personal. Right now you're just an arvixe user that looks like an egg

[sab]

advice taken. i went to edit my profile and settings, but couldn't find edit username option. any link, maybe?

i don't know what was the default user details, i'll find out and put here.

[diogo]

You can change the "display name"

[Mike Rockett]

i don't know what was the default user details, i'll find out and put here.

Yeah - you'll see the username under Access > Users. I can't wait to see what they did there.

Here you can change your forum name: https://processwire.com/talk/index.php?app=core&module=usercp&tab=core&area=displayname

when i clicked on the link to change my forum name as LostKobrakai suggested, i got: "

Oops! Something went wrong!

You do not have permission to change your display name."

on Arvixe Processwire, Access->Users gave me two default users: admin and guest. the password for the admin account was my default password for cpanel. somehow the link to access admin panel was like  homeurl/admin123/   and that made me think the account was named admin123 but it was simple "admin". not sure about the default password for the "guest" account, tried my cpanel password along with typing nothing. didn't work. 

thanks again, guys.

now, could someone with admin role here please give me a permission to change my display name, maybe?

[diogo]

Guest doesn't have password.

I don't know if I could give you permission for that, I guess it's automated with the number of posts, but I think I can change it myself. What's the name you want?

[sab]

could i have three letter one? it's "sab"

thanks, Diogo!

[diogo]

Hm, I think I can't do it... you are sure you can't do it yourself?

@arvixeuser

You need to go here: ProcessWire Support Forums  → My control panel  → Settings  → Display Name

Welcome to the forums

[sab]

yes, i'm sure. although now i can see the "Display name" option in My Settings, when i try to change it, i get "your current password is incorrect". but i'm using the same password that i use sign in here. i signed out and signed in and tried to change my Display name several times. not working.

@adrian thanks a lot for your script.

I inherit a ProcessWire site and the admin user they gave me didn't work. With your script I was able to login successfuly.

The only difference is that I put the code in the index.php file, at the end of the try block.
