Fix Login Issues

If you're experiencing login issues with the admin account, follow these steps:

Step 1: Configure Database Connection

Edit config/config.php and replace the placeholder values:

// Database Configuration
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define('DB_USER', 'u677493242_plugins');
define('DB_PASS', 'YOUR_ACTUAL_DATABASE_PASSWORD');  // ⚠️ REPLACE THIS
define('DB_NAME', 'u677493242_plugins');

Important: Get your actual database password from:

  • Hostinger Control Panel → Databases → MySQL Databases
  • Or from your hosting provider's database management panel

Step 2: Test Database Connection

Run the test script to verify your database configuration:

php api/test-db.php

This will show you:

  • ✓ If database connection works
  • ✓ If admin user exists
  • ✓ If password hash is correct

Step 3: Create Admin User (if needed)

If the admin user doesn't exist or password is incorrect:

php sql/seed.php

This will:

  • Create the admin user with email: admin@mixlarlabs.com
  • Set password to: admin123
  • Import all plugins from list.json

Step 4: Check Error Logs

If login still fails, check the PHP error logs:

On Hostinger:

  • Go to hosting control panel
  • Look for "Error Logs" or "PHP Error Logs"
  • Check recent entries for login errors

The improved login.php now logs:

  • Database connection status
  • User lookup results
  • Password verification results
  • Detailed error messages

Step 5: Verify Login

Try logging in again:

  • URL: https://aqua-sparrow-114102.hostingersite.com/frontend/public/login.html
  • Email: admin@mixlarlabs.com
  • Password: admin123

Common Issues

"Server error. Please check if database is configured correctly."

  • Database password in config/config.php is wrong
  • Database doesn't exist
  • Database user doesn't have proper permissions

"Invalid credentials"

Could mean:

  1. Email doesn't exist in database (run sql/seed.php)
  2. Password is incorrect
  3. Password hash in database is corrupted

"Email and password are required"

  • Frontend is not sending data properly
  • Check browser console (F12) for JavaScript errors

Security Notes

⚠️ After successful login:

  1. Change the admin password immediately
  2. Update config/config.php with strong passwords
  3. Never commit config/config.php to git (it should be in .gitignore)
