Login problem after change of hosting company was created by vince
webtrees version = 2.1.18
PHP version = 8.3
HTML command = www.bredy.org.uk/webtrees/index.php?rout...ee%2FOFarrell-Warner
I recently moved the hosting of my domain to a different (commercial) hosting company and they transferred the hosted files to the new host. When I now run webtrees on the new host, I see the usual screen but it does not allow me to login. The startup/status screen says that someone is signed in. Screenshots attached. Attempts to reset password and setup a new user fail silently. I do have a backup taken before the hosting change but wonder if there is a simpler fix than downloading, reinstalling and importing?

A couple of observations:
- On visiting your site, I get the cookie check which indicates you're using webtrees 2.2.5 or 6 not 2.1.18
- I assume your provider also copied your old database so I would definitely empty the session table to clear all sessions from your old provider

Thanks bert and ddrury. It's now running OK but I did need to use PhpMyAdmin to clear the session table and reset my password. All the other password FAQ suggestions got nowhere. In trying to resolve the problem, I had downloaded and attempted to install 2.2.6 but was unsure whether it had installed correctly. It had but that was not clear at the time. I have needed to reset lots of the settings in Control Panel but things are looking pretty good now, and email from the system is working.
Thanks again,
Vince
