Question Cannot pass the login screen of the migration wizard

I have succesfully installed version 1.7.17 EULA of webtrees as this version contain the wizard for migrating from PGV to WT.
"webtrees 1.7 contains an upgrade wizard to import site settings and user accounts from PhpGedView. If you are transferring from PhpGedView, you should install webtrees 1.7 first, and then upgrade to webtrees 2.0."

Next step is to start the PhpGedview to webtrees transfer wizard. I get a screen were I can see several tables are imported from pgv to wt.
At the bottom of the screen it says. You need to sign in again, using your PhpGeview username and password. (see screen shot wizard 1)

No matter what I type in, it will NOT let me pass.
The closest I get is : This account has not been verified. Please check your email for a verification message. (see screenshot 2)
I will not get an email.

I double check the user names in the PGV table and WT table they are correct. I kept my passwords in Lastpass so I got all of them.

I have been trying to figure this out but ar stuck. Any help is greatly appreciated.

1) try deleting cookies in your browser

2) see webtrees.net/faq/password/

Greg, thank you for this prompt reply and pointing me into the right direction.

These steps I have executed:

1. Clear Cookies and retry login: same result, account needs to be verified
2. Change in the table the password as instructed in the FAQ. : same result, account needs to be verified
3. Create a file password.php as instructed in the FAQ. I copied the file to the server and when accessing got a 500 error
4. Change access rights on the server (see screenshot wizard 3) Server will not allow me to do so?

thank you for your support.

My bad. I didn't see the attachments to your original message.

TIP: when you attach an image, there is a button to insert attachments into your message.

The account you are using is not an admin account.

Create an entry in the table wt_user_setting with the name "canadmin" and a value of "1".

TIP: admin accounts don't need to be verified or approved.

Thank you for your patience with me.
I have added the record into wt_user_setting


Check:


When retry loging in:

You don't have any settings in your wt_user_settings table?


Maybe they were missing in PGV.

Anyhow, I see you created an entry for canadmin for user 2.
The only other setting (is a "last login time), which is for user 3.

Are you sure you created the "canadmin" entry for the correct user?

I also modified user 3


Same result Account needs to be verified)

Are you sure you are using account 2 or 3?

The admin account is the first to be created, and usually has ID #1...

Maybe we are on to something


I have NO user with ID 1

Try adding these entries as well.

'verified_by_admin' = 1
'verified' = 1

Ok here is what I have done.
- Added a new user with user_id = 1 into the table wt_user

- Added a record with setting into table wt_user_setting


Loging with user wtadmin
Still get the message: user account needs to be verififie

Not quite...

You should put "verifed" in the column "setting_name", and "1" in the column "setting value", etc.

So, for the user account that you are using (e.g. "2" for webmaster or "3" for Roel), you need three entries in the wt_user_setting table.

You are the master.
I have changed the entries as you instructed


And then it passed to the next screen.


Now I wait (it is taking a long time)

Thank you for your support on this issue. It helped me to the next phase!
