cannot access to admin/ control pannel


Recommended Posts

I have installed the PrestaShop.

I have followed all installation steps.

The front shop displays OK but I cannot access to the admin /control panel area.

The following error comes up..


There is 1 error

1. employee does not exist, or bad password

I went into the database and change the password and email address and still doesn’t let me go in and when I click "Lost password" it doesn't send me anything.

To be honest.. this issue at first stage of using the PrestaShop cart puts so many people off not using this card. It would be better if you have a clear solution for this.

Thanks for any help

Okay, I thought I was losing my mind... I've been experiencing the same issue. I have re-installed it three times thinking I was doing something wrong when I wasn't...

Is the 1.3 version ready for live sites yet? Version 1.2 isn't working properly once installed.

By the way, it's worth mentioning that while the script installs and it can be viewed on the front end, during the installation process it never gets to step 5. I get no response when I click on the next or continue button at step 4.

As for me, after fresh instal of 1.2.5 version, it even doesn't work. Empty page in front end almost empty Back-end.
It is so sad ... On local machine almost everything run ok. But it doesn't work on good provider of shared servers


I have quited the prestashop and now using www.opencart.com cart, that seems working with no problem.

I don't know ... I love Presta from first sight, but seems to be it just doesn't work at the moment ...
I will try to find out solution.

On my local machine I dont have that problems. Bad thing what Presta not compatible with most popular PHP versions. Almost all hosts in my country use such version of PHP, which was listed by Presta as incompatible

I've the same problem you had. Did you found an answer since the last post ?

During step 4 I had also the problem that nothing moved after introducing all datas. Then I just unselected the "send me informations per e-mail" and it worked... strange.

I had that problem on my local server and I think it was cookie related issue. What about my blank page. After I enable error display, I found what it was problem because of bad file uploading to hosting server. So, always check you file permissions, upload files again and if it doesn't help, pray :D

Same problem here.
Presta seems promising. I installed on MAMP, fine, delete install directory, rename admin directory then login to the back office.
There is 1 error: employee does not exist, or bad password

click 'lost password', type my mail address used during installation, the result is: "this account doesn't exist"

What was that if i even cannot login?

Im no expert, but try and clear the cookies, cache then refresh.

Also, did you sort out the file permissions on your server prior to installing Prestashop
