Hi Thank you for your response. I am running 6.16. I managed to be successful logging in by doing the following.
I took a copy of the production database and created a new instance on my development server.
updated the db connection strings in the web.config
ran the site locally and logged in.
I'm not sure what happened to my previous db. I can still try to debug it, but I'd rather have a fresh copy of the site. I did notice a new issue doing this. I deleted the umbraco.config file and republished and I also refreshed the Media folder from the one on the production server. I republished and a lot of the images are broken. Viewing the page source, it doesn't seem to be referencing the proper nodes and paths.
Is there another file that needs to be replaced?
Thank you!
update: I am going to just try to manually correct all of the problems. This is no longer urgent, but it would still be nice to know what I missed if there are additional steps. Thank you.
Regarding the images - Have you copied the media folder from the local setup to your server? If not that's probably why it's failing unless some custom API stuff is messing it up I think.
login
when I go to "/umbraco/" on my site it redirects to /umbraco/login.aspx?redir=%2fumbraco%2f
and will not accept my admin password. This behavior is recent. The site was working fine in the past. Any suggestions?
Hi Laura
What version of Umbraco are you using?
And are you connetec to a VPN connection when trying to login?

Hi Laura
Ok, that's sounds like a weird issue but glad you managed to get it fixed. If you should ever encounter it again make sure to read the entire post here http://our.umbraco.org/forum/using/ui-questions/4790-ouch-forgot-admin-password-how-to-reset where people share how the password can be changed in the database.
