Reply InMotionFan says: December 7, 2017 at 4:31 pm Sorry for the problem with recovering your OpenCart login. This will depend on the version of OpenCart. The above article works with OpenCart 1.5 which is a much older version than the current release. I would recommend looking at the OpenCart support forums as many users have had this problem. Check out this post. It may have the solution you need. If you continue to have a problem, then you can post your issue there or speak directly with OpenCart developers for further assistance. Reply Masdar says: December 29, 2016 at 10:00 am Hi, Good day! I have problem, There is no error appear only my browser url shown this: /admin/index.php?route=common/dashboard&token=6OXAFn6wHV7mIZlTLIzqxm71WasQquwK and show Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in C:\xampp\htdocs\tokoonline\upload\admin\model\localisation\currency.php on line 129 Please give me solution,,,, regards, Masdar Reply InMotionFan says: December 29, 2016 at 5:14 pm It looks like the scripts on that page have exceeded the maximum execution time allotted. You adjust the max execution time with the php.ini file, but it might be better to check the scripts on the page to see why they are running long. Reply Nora says: August 18, 2016 at 7:28 am Hi Arnel, Thanks for your reply as well as your suggestion. I did tried that one before but still not solving the issue. Somehow, my friend had found the solution from a forum. However, he forgot to copy the link of that forum. So I will just provide the solution below. Hope it helps others. Solution: Set the path in session.php file by adding the following code: session_save_path(realpath(dirname($_SERVER[‘DOCUMENT_ROOT’]) . ‘/tmp’));; Thanks. Reply Nora says: August 17, 2016 at 11:06 am Hi, Good day! I have been experiencing that OpenCart keeps logging me out whenever I try to save the setting under system tab.

If you’re using a caching add-on that you disable it or reload it, as it appears to be related to caching. We would need more information in regards to the version of OpenCart that you’re using, including any themes or plugins that you may be using. The error message is pointing out that the cache.php in that location does not exist, so you may want to start by looking at that location. I hope this helps to answer your question, please let us know if you require any further assistance. Regards, Arnel C.

Kindest Regards, Scott M Reply vijay says: December 27, 2014 at 9:39 am Don’t forget to Delete “OpencartStore/install” folder after successful installation.? i have deleted the install floder after installation . i could not get the admin page to log in. what to do mate? Reply InMotionFan says: December 29, 2014 at 7:22 pm Hello Vijay, Thanks for the question. Deleting the opencartstore/install folder would not have any affect on your admin login, unless you deleted more folders than you should have. If you look at your installation files using the cPanel File manager(or your favorite FTP client), the admin folder should be there. If it’s not, then you probably need to re-install OpenCart. Typically, the Opencart admin login would be something like: https://opencartdomain_name.com/admin. If you put it in a subfolder, then it might look like: https://domain_name.com/opencart_subfolder/admin. I hope this helps to answer your question, please let us know if you require any further assistance. Kindest regards, Arnel C> Reply Venus says: November 17, 2014 at 12:24 am hi there, So recently ive been unable to log into my admin account due to an error with my password and username. Even though i have not changed my password. Support sent me an email with an attchment so i could reset my password. I’ve tried many ways and been unable to reset it. Myabe im doing something wrong, but if you could help or have any advise on another way to reset my admin password that would be great Thank you. Reply InMotionFan says: November 17, 2014 at 7:07 pm Hello Venus, Sorry you’re having problems with your OpenCart admin login. Since you have provided no account verification and because Support Center solution are posted to the public, we cannot reset the password for you. However, you can follow the directions in addin and Admin account via MySQL. This will allow you to create a new Admin account and then have access to login and reset the previous admin account. I hope this helps to answer your question! Regards, Arnel C.

Thank you, -John-Paul Reply Gary Lloyd says: July 1, 2014 at 7:08 pm Thanks Scott, I commented out the line and it is now working. It’s been about 30 years since I did any programming. Things have certainly changed. I’m beginning to get the impression that I may need professional help… LOL Reply ROBERT says: July 12, 2014 at 1:35 am It is OK the way it is: clear, concise, to the point, easy. Reply Gary Lloyd says: July 1, 2014 at 6:17 pm The second option indeed sounds better. However, you lost me at the word “simply”. I have no idea how to “go to the .htaccess file in your home folder”. Reply InMotionFan says: July 1, 2014 at 6:44 pm Hello Gary, You can edit that file via the File Manager in the cPanel. I have an article here to help you. One change, however. In step 3 it says to click on the button with your domain name in it. Ignore that advice and click on the option named ‘Home Directory’. Once inside you can edit the file. Kindest Regards, Scott M Reply Gary Lloyd says: July 1, 2014 at 4:48 pm Hi Scott I have reinstalled it four times with the same result, same warning, same failure to accept my username/password. Reply InMotionFan says: July 1, 2014 at 5:57 pm Hello Gary, Thank you for that information. I did another test intall on the server (not your account) and it worked fine. I then did a test install on your account in a test folder and did receive the errors. In checking, you have your .htaccess set to force php version 5.2 across your account. This file is located in your home directory (one above the public_html). There are a couple of things you can do. If you want to keep the account set to firce 5.2 (not recommended but you may have your reasons) then you will need to add the following line to the .htaccess file in your public_html folder: AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php This will force the default server version of 5.3 to the public_html folder. As that is the main folder, it will carry down to all other folders, so if you wish to have another subfolder run back on 5.2, you will need to add a .htaccess file to that particular folder and add the following line: AddHandler application/x-httpd-php52 .php The second option seems to be the better one. You can simply go to the .htaccess file in your home folder and either comment out the line by adding # at the front of it or remove the line altogether. Either way will cause your account to use the curent default version of php on the server which is 5.3. My guess is that that .htaccess file was there back when it was needed as your server has been around long enough to have been upgraded a couple of times. Kindest Regards, Scott M Reply Gary Lloyd says: July 1, 2014 at 3:50 pm I deleted PrestaShop and installed OpenCart. When I try to log in, I get the following messages: Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /home/techme5/public_html/admin/index.php on line 43 Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/techme5/public_html/admin/index.php on line 43 Reply InMotionFan says: July 1, 2014 at 4:21 pm Hello Gary, If that is a fresh install of OpenCart I recommend reinstalling it. I have created a test version on my own server using the same version and am having no issues. My files and database appear to be identical in size to yours, so it is possible there is just a bit of corruption in your files.
