Open yor blogg-x\bin\setting.xml file with any text editor.

I'm glad you found a solution to the password problem with joomla 1.013, but I still can't seem to get it working. I found the password in my SQL database and pasted it into the appropriate field in the settings.xml, but I still can't connect from Blogg-X. I can't get past the Account Settings window. I know I've replaced the password, so it should be correct, but Blogg-X won't connect to my site until I verify the password through the Account Settings window, which I still can't do.

Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated. I can't wait to get Blogg-X up and running!

I opened my SQL database and found the password for the Superadministrator (ID 62). This is the account I log into Joomla with. I copied the password. I opened the settings.xml file and changed the password. But when I start Blogg-X it still says it can't connect, and in the Account Settings window, it won't verify the username and password.

Here is my Settings.xml file. Maybe there's an error in it.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE properties SYSTEM "http://java.sun.com/dtd/properties.dtd">

Thanks for your help!

Still not working. Oh, well. Thanks for your help!

Hi. I really love this program. I used it on my old site. But now I've upgraded to .13 and the program isn't working. I even copied out the settings.xml file above and replaced mine with all the correct information. I found the password hash in jos_users and pasted it in to the settings.xml doc. Still... when I click verify, nothing happens. My paths and ftp info is correct, but the program won't recognize the username/password or try to verify it at all. :-(

That file was not from my site, it was just the one I copied and replaced with my information so of course it would fail. ;-)

I'm not behind a firewall, the mambot is published. It verifies the ftp settings and password, but not the Joomla one. ??

Nope. Still doesn't work. I d/led the new, beta version, made sure to check the box for Joomla 1.0.13 (even did it without checking the box) and nothing happened. It still won't verify the username/password and won't connect. I went into the xml file and everything was correct.

First of all thanks for all the work done on Blogg-X. Its an excellent app which saves us uploaders of content huge amounts of time.

Now for the problem I'm having.

I have a number of Joomla sites, one of which is still running under 1.012. Today I downloaded Blogg-X 1.013 and installed on my PC. I also installed it on one of my 1.013 Joomla sites.

Blogg-X still works nicely with my 1.012 site. As to my 1.013 site however I need to report that the Joomla username and password verify nicely and that the ftp info verifies as well.

When opening the site I get an error message I get the screen telling me that there was an error trying to get initial settings. . .

I'll try reinstalling to see if that helps and report back.

Best regards,

Alexander

UPDATE: reinstalling and overwriting options.xml and settings.xml makes no difference.
The version 1.012 site still works but 1.013 version gives same problems, even tough both verification processes went fine....

Dumbfounded,
