cannot log in

[Stephen]

After succesfully installing in localhost, I try to login with the user: opendocman passw: opendocman (the same as used for setup.
I have already checked DB privileges for this account, and set them to GRANT ALL for this account
I also tried with existiong users with privileges root and admin, to no avail.
What am I doing wrong?
PLEASE HELP
Truly yours - Roberto

It sounds like you're confusing user logins, database logins, and ODM logins. These are three separate things.

User login... the username/password that you enter to initial login to your machine.

Database login... the account that the ODM application uses to access the database... listed in your config.php file.

ODM login... the username/password that you enter, via your web browser when you go to the ODM login screen.

Thankyou Jonathan for your answer, but I do not see were I am confusing things:
My login to my machine is not an issue here: it is quite different user & password

When I did the Install, I already had Mysql installed (through wamp), where MySql login:root has password:SCHAVELZ
There where already other users created BEFORE installing ODM: user admin password: SCHAVELZ and user RobertoMirelman pasw: SCHAVELZ

After fixing config.php to my current configuration ('http://localhost/RMS_DOCS' , datadir: 'c:\\MisDocs\\', etc.), I did INSTALL, setting root password at SCHAVELZ, and user opendocman with passw: opendocman (I undersatnd that this is the user for database named:OPENDOCMAN where everything will be stored to manage the documents)

I have not defined any other ODM user/login, since I did not see were to do that!

I received no errors, and was invited to login.

I checked phpMyAdmin to see that all users had ALL priveleges on (I am working locally, I will put proper settings before uploading the site)

Now I tried with all combinations of user /passw
opendocman / opendocman
admin / SCHAVELZ
root / SCHAVELZ

I always receive an error : 'There was an error logging you in. Please try again.'

WHich user should I use to start configuring ODM and uploading my docuemnts?
Thankyou for your help!
Roberto

Well, I noticed now that I can create a NEW USER at the initial login screen:
I did so, and now I am able to have an user logged in :-)
What I cannot figure out, yet, is how I can login with administarive privileges to configure ODM ( as admin/admin does for the sample model)
Roberto

[Stephen]

The initial ODM username is "admin" (with no password). Once you login you should change admin's password, and create regular users. See:

GREAT! So simple ... yet it was driving me crazy! I promise to READ the documentation, at least, this time ;-)
Thankyou sincerily for your time and patience
