Hi all,I've just installed the script ( using automatic option...I went through all the setup installation without problems and/or errors) and now I would like to know how to access the administration area. If I point to the index.php file from my browser and do the login,I only access what is allowed as a standard user (even if I fill the form in with the admin account). What is the path and the file to point to ? Any help is appreciated...thanks
Under each folder (admin, blocks,bridges....) there's a index.php file which is empty ! Is it normal, or something went wrong during the installation...or a wrong setting ?
Anybody out there ?
Yes, that is normal and very important to stop people being able to access your directories. Leave them where they are for security reasons. Every directory should have some kind of index.html or php for this reason.
why is nothing ever easy?

Thanks...can you tell me how to access the admin panel ?
I installed the script again trying to figure out why I can't access the admin panel . I also set up the whole thing with different parameters but with no effects. If I point with my browser to the admin.php file, I get an 'You are not authorized to access that function' !
Will someone point me in the right direction to debug what I miss ?
Just to double check...
You've installed the script and can access the front page (even though there are no stories yet).
You've deleted/renamed the INSTALL folder.
You can click LOGIN (or if it's on the front page, the login area) and enter the username (penname) and password of an administrator (which you entered during the install).
You should be taken back to the main page. There also should be some additional choices in the menu, one being ADMIN.
Click on that. You should be taken to /admin.php where you can see all the admin options.

I do not have any additional choice from the main page after the login (with administration password and username).I renamed the install folder.
In the table 'Authors', what is for the column 'admincreated' ? Is this value should be zero for the administrator data registration ? Mine is at zero as value.I try to change it to 1,but this didn't solve my problem.....
If I change in the 'get_session_vars.php' file the coding line number 66 FROM if(!defined("isADMIN")) define("isADMIN", false); TO if(!defined("isADMIN")) define("isADMIN", true); , I get the administration menu......

I'm going to assume, since you didn't comment one way or the other, that everything above happened and looked like it was supposed to until after the login.
Well, you should have several more choices, not just ADMIN, like MY ACCOUNT. Also, it should take you to your account page, which lists things like MANAGE FAVORITES and ADD NEW STORY just to name a few. It sounds like this is not happening.
Have you tried to add a new account via the login page? Even though it isn't an admin account, it should let you log in. If that works, then we can make it an admin account via MySQL.
Have you tried the LOST PASSWORD option?
Also, a link to the existing installation would probably help. This way, I (or we, if anyone else is looking) can see exactly what is happening.

You should always fill out the support request template pinned at the top of each board. https://efiction.org/forums/index.php?topic=6319.0. This really helps.
I would change back the boolean that you modified in get_session_vars. Without testing it, my fear is that you've just made everyone who looks at your site able to have admin ability!
The 'admincreated' field in fanfiction_authors specifies whether or not the account was created by an admin. What you are looking for is the 'level' field in fanfiction_authorprefs. 0 is not an admin. 1 through 4 are admin levels, 1 being the highest. Since you're the main admin, you should be set to 1. Check that and get back to us if it still doesn't work.
