Drupal Can't access Drupal Admin Dashboard

I tried many times installing drupal on kubuntu with xampp (including after reinstalling kubuntu) and can't access Drupal Admin Dashboard.

These are the commands after reinstalling kubuntu

go to : /home/rebirth/Downloads: type: -sudo tar xvfz drupal-7.34.tar.gz -mv drupal-7.34 ../../../opt/lampp/htdocs -cd ../../../.. -sudo cp /opt/lampp/htdocs/drupal-7.34/sites/default/default.settings.php /opt/lampp/htdocs/drupal-7.34/sites/default/settings.php -cd /opt/lampp/htdocs/drupal-7.34/sites -sudo chmod a+w default-sudo chmod a+w default/settings.php

Then I install drupal by typing the url localhost + : "/drupal-7.34/"

I install using root as a username and setting up a password, create the database etc..

When I finish the installation it shows drupal without the Drupal Admin Dashboard and I tried many times login in it doesn't work ...

Is there a file saving the password and username to be an administrator or do I Have to use the webbrowser as root?

Help much appreciated!

Solution

  • Uncomment line 340 on settings.php to reflect your domain name

    e.g. for localhost 

    $cookie_domain = 'localhost';

    Please note this works for drupal 7 and my php version is 5.6. and ubuntu 14.10 you should also have rights to read and write the settings.php

    Type your link

    eg. http://yourdomain/drupal/user/

    enter correct credentials you should be able to login
