    Unable to log into the umbraco backend and the public website continuously redirects after upgrading v4 to v4.5

    I am trying to upgrade to v4.5. The installer runs fine, but when I try to log into the backend, the password is not recognised.

    If I try to view the website itself, I get conitnuous redirects of the URLs:

    /
    /config/splashes/noNodes.aspx
    /login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fconfig%2fsplashes%2fnoNodes.aspx
    /config/splashes/noNodes.aspx
    /login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fconfig%2fsplashes%2fnoNodes.aspx
    /config/splashes/noNodes.aspx
    /login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fconfig%2fsplashes%2fnoNodes.aspx

     

    and so on.

    Interesting, sounds like an issue with password hashing, only likely to occur if you've upgraded the website a few times from older umbraco versions.

    This topic covers your issue: http://our.umbraco.org/forum/getting-started/installing-umbraco/13590-Changing-passwords-back-to-Hashed-after-upgrade

    Detailed intruction steps for upgrading: http://www.karlkopp.com/blog/2010/7/27/upgrading-umbraco-40x-to-45x

    Step 7: Modify the 2 membership providers (umbracoMembershipProvider
    and UsersMembershipProvider) in the web.config and remove the
    passwordFormat="Hashed" from both as the password in the existing
    database is not hashed.

    Thanks Rik

    It was because the config said that the passwords were hashed, but they weren't. I used the sample code to hash the passwords manually and I am now able to login.
