Earlier this afternoon I asked a colleague to restore an umbraco database to a previous backup, from about 2 weeks ago to regain some info in it. This was done without a hitch (according to him, I didn't witness it being done) but now nobody can log into that project's umbraco. We checked the database and the user accounts exist in it, and with the correct passwords. It just does the red shaking thing every time we try to log in.
If versions of anything is relevant let me know and I'll supply them; I'm asking this in a general sense at the moment to see if anyone's come across it before (that is simply, restoring a database and not being able to log in any longer).
I think the login to the database is messed up when you restored the database. Take the account info from the web.config and try to login with those credentials to the Umbraco database, either via SQl Management Studio or visual studio server explorer. I think you will get an error during login and you need to reset the login info for the database.
can't login after restoring database
Hi all,
This is my first post, so please be gentle :P
