installation

What you are reporting suggests that on the mySQL database that you've provided on mt-config.cgi you've already had a movable type installation.

So, that's the reason you are seeing the upgrade message.

Obviously, if you've had a movable type installation, you should have also an account with it.

If you don't remember, you could eventually reset your password via phpmyadmin, using this command:

update mt_author set author_password = encrypt('foobar') where author_id = 1;

Where "foobar" should be replaced with your username and "1" with your author id.

Enjoy,

I am having similar problem..

I have just upgraded MT to version 5, and it went ok.. then I tried to enter username and password (which is correct-as I can see it in the database) and it is returning to login screen saying login is invalid.

I have set all cgi files to permitions 755. What can be the problem?

I have installed a fresh copy of MT 5 in new directory, but I used database from my previous installation..

What is the problem?

Hi Sasa,

Just try to follow the advice I've provided above.

Kind Regards,

Oh, yes.. I now figured out what has been written.. I was thinking on some other solution, beside interfering into database, so I just passed this advice :D
