initial admin login incorrect

[reason8]

Hello and good day.
I just installed ISPConfig on OpenSUSE 11.0 with all components per the installation page. I am having a problem logging into the admin page. It is not taking the login credentials of "username: admin and password:admin".
I have noticed that when I boot my server, I received a warning stating:
Warning: mysql_fetch_aray(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /root/ispconfig/scripts/lib/config.inc.php on line 47
No results found! ISPConfig system is not up and running!"

What could be the problem? I chose SSL for login and have added the https:// to access the site.

Thanks!

ISPConfig is not correctly installed on your system, please run:

/root/ispconfig/uninstall

to delete it.

Before you install it again, make sure that:

1) No database with the same name exists already that you choose for ispconfig. The installer will create the database itself.
2) That you use the mysql user "rot" to install ispconfig.
3) That the mysql password does not contain any special chars.

The problem was that I created a mysql pw using the non a-z and A-Z convention. I was trying to create a strong password. I changed the pw in mysql and was able to get past the admin login but received an error of indicating the config.inc.php file had errors in them.

Now I am trying to uninstall and it is giving me this error:

Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /root/ispconfig/scripts/lib/config.inc.php on line 47
No results found!

I have reinstalled and reconfigured this multiple times already but am willing to give it another shot but how can I uninstall and reinstall with out wiping th e OS if it wont uninstall? Thanks for the help!

Run:

/etc/init.d/ispconfig_server stop
rm -rf /root/ispconfig
rm -rf /home/admispconfig

then delete the directory that is named like the ispconfig mysql database in /var/lib/mysql/

I removed the directories but when ispconfig install asks me mysql password, its not allowing me to login. I think it is still remembering the old password. Obviously all of mysql was not removed when I deleted /var/lib/mysql.

I even tried to change the sql password in another login and its not accepting that either.

You should only remove the ispconfig database from /var/lib/mysql/, nothing more and this has nothing to do with the mysql password.

You can set a new mysql password e.g. with the mysqladmin command.

That is the only db that I removed. Changing the sql pw did not work. So I wiped everything clean and restarting. Thanks.
