Yesterday, when I was starting to work on Magento E-commerce. When I was access Magento after installation, I can’t logged in Admin section.

After long time serching and research in Magento, finally I found the solution and currently I am able to login to admin section. Today I explain you about the problem and the solution.

First of all, what is Magento ?

Magento is one of the Opensource for E-commerce Websites. Its a top level opensource in E-commerce category.

Now time to explain the problem and the solution of the problem.

Problem

While installing magento on xampp version 2.5 you have provided admin username and password. After installation finished you no longer login with your admin account.

In fact in the “Log in to Admin Panel” window whenever you provide wrong password/username combination it displays “Invalid Username or Password.” But whenever you provide correct password it does not show anything.

Though a new url like http://127.0.0.1/magento/index.php/admin/index/index/key/d135be4de664ab83db829120740e058a/

is displayed on the address bar.

Everytime you do this you can’t log in to admin panel.

Reason of the problem

Do you know why this problem occures ? The problem occurs because magneto could not store cookies. We run it as localhost and localhost is not true domain but to store cookies we need a domain. That’s why login stops without saying any word.

Now the time comes for solutions. There are two solutions for this problem which are shown below :

Solutions

First Solution
In different forums I saw they mentioned connecting as http://localhost/magento/index.php/admin will fail but if you connect as http://127.0.0.1/magento/index.php/admin it will work. But in my case IP address in the URL did not work too.

I made it work into whenever I changed my browser. Suppose I installed magento using google chrome browser and I open admin url into my firefox window and it worked. Though in the firefox the url http://localhost/magento/index.php/admin did not work, but url http://127.0.0.1/magento/index.php/admin worked fine.

Second Solution

Go to app/code/core/Mage/Core/Model/Session/Abstract/Varien.php file within your magento directory.

Find the code:

and replace with

After this save the file. And try to login into the admin.

I think it will work now.

Today I will share with you about cPanel and its advanced feature Cron Job.
First of all what is cPanel ?

CPanel is a fully featured web-based control panel that allows you to manage your domain through a web interface. The idea is to transfer as much of the control and responsibility of managing your web site to you. You have the ability to manage all aspects of e-mail, files, backup, FTP, CGI scripts, and web site statistics.

Now what is Cron Job ?

A cron job allows you to run a certain command at times set by the job. For example, if you want to execute one file at midnight 12.00 then you can set time using cron job. There is an advanced feature in cPanel from where you have to write only one command and full path of the file whcih want to execute.

Don’t be confused. I give you support step by step.

When you login in cPanel, Please click on the icon for cronjob. (See below image).

Then there are two modes for Cron Job.

1) Standard Cron Manager
2) Advanced (UNIX Style) Cron Jobs Mod
click here for more details.

Standard Cron Manager

The Standard mode provides a range of pre-set options that you can choose. This is the simplest method and is recommended. See below image.

Adding a cron job in standard mode

• To access the Cron Jobs Menu, click on the corresponding icon located on the main screen of your cPanel interface.
• Click on Standard to access the Standard Cron Manager.
• Enter the email address where the cron output will be sent to in the corresponding field.
• Enter the command you wish the cron job to run in the blank field next to the Command to run label.
• Select how often you wish the command to be run by selecting an option in each of the boxes.
• Click on Save Crontab to save your changes and set up your cron job.

Thats it. Your cron job is added.

Deleting a cron job in standard mode

When a cron job is no longer needed, you should delete it so the command will not continue to run.

• To access the Cron Jobs Menu, click on the corresponding icon located on the main screen of your cPanel interface.
• Click on Standard to access the Standard Cron Manager.
• Click on the Delete button next to the cron job you wish to remove.

Above all prtocess for Standard Cron Manager. Now I explain you about Advanced (UNIX Style) Cron Jobs Mod.
click here for more details.

Advanced (UNIX Style) Cron Jobs Mod

This provides the regular UNIX style cron options. It is recommended only for users, who are used to this method of setting cron entries. See below Image.

Adding a cron job in advanced mode

• To access the Cron Jobs Menu, click on the corresponding icon located on the main screen of your cPanel interface.
• Click on Advanced (Unix Style) to access the Cron Manager.
• Enter the email address you wish the output of the command run by the cron job to be sent to in the corresponding field.
• Enter the command you wish the cron job to run in the blank field below the Command label.
• Select how often you wish the command to be run by placing a number or asterisk (*) in each of the boxes.
• Click on Save Crontab to save your changes and set up your cron job.

Note : An asterisk (*) denotes to run the command at every possible time for that box. For example, a * in the month box would run the command every month.

Deleting a cron job in advanced mode

When a cron job is no longer needed, you should delete it so the command will not continue to run.

• To access the Cron Jobs Menu, click on the corresponding icon located on the main screen of your cPanel interface.
• Click on Advanced (Unix Style) to access the Cron Manager.
• Click on the Remove icon next to the cron job you wish to delete.

Thats it. I think this tutorial become very helpful to you.

Today i want to share with you some important topic.

I think you don’t know that jQuery and Prototype both will not work at same page. if you are using jquery with prototype with default settings than it will create a problem and not work according to our requirement.

I already face this problem. After long research, i have found the solution and which is working fine for me.
So The solution Read it Carefully because the arrangement is very important.

First Define jQuery in your webpage.
Click on below links for more:

<script language=”javascript” src=”js/jquery.js”></script> (Define jQuery)

// After Defining jquery file you must asign a new variable to jQuery here i have used it as “hoot”
// The reason to use this is “$” is used in both the js Jquery and Prototype and its conflicting one another.
// Prototype uses$ for id based selection
// jQuery $ uses CSS based selection
// so here “$” would be replaced with “hoot”
// so the conflict with prototype $ will be removed.

<script type=”text/javascript”>
var hoot = jQuery.noConflict();
</script>

// Define prototype js
<script language=”javascript” src=”js/prototype/prototype.js”></script>

=====================================
In Normal use of jQuery syntax will be
=====================================
<script type=”text/javascript”>
$(document).ready(function()
{
// Your code;
}
</script>
Click on below links for more:

=====================================
In jQuery+Prototype together syntax will be
=====================================
<script type=”text/javascript”>
hoot(document).ready(function()
{
//Your Code
}
</script>

So use this technique, and definitely your code starts working.

Today i will show you hiw to use Cookie in PHP.

First of all Cookies are small pieces of text, stored by a user’s web browser, that contain the user’s settings, shopping cart contents, or other data used by websites.

In PHP we can set cookies by inbuilt function setcookie().

It is very easy to use and understand. First parameter is the name of the cookie and second one is the value you want to store in cookie.

By above code you can set simple cookie and this cookie will be deleted when user close their browser.

We can also set the time how long we want the cookie.

Above example create cookie for 1 year. Yes 31536000 seconds means 1 year.Remember, cookies must be deleted with the same parameters they were set with.If users clear their history from browser then cookies will be deleted.

We can also use a forth parameter, the fourth parameter is the cookie path.

The fourth parameter defines a path from which the cookie can be accessed. In the above example only scripts inside /folder/ will be able to access the cookie ($username), in scripts outside this folder the cookie will be unavailable.

There’s also a fifth parameter, the fifth parameter defines a hostname that can retrieve the cookie.

The fifth parameter is the domain which can retrieve this cookie. Normally a cookie can only be accessed by the domain that set it, otherwise sites would be able to get private information from cookies set by other sites. With this parameter we can define another domain which can retrieve the cookie we are setting.

Click on below links for more:

Now How to Retrive Cookie ?

Once you have set a cookie on a user’s system, it is only avialable when they load the next page. The cookie can be accessed very easily:

When the cookie is set the value is automatically URL encoded, when the script retrieves a cookie, it automatically decodes the value, so you don’t have to worry about that.

Always remember, a limitation of cookies is that you have to set it before you can send the HTTP headers. In other words, always do all your cookie setting BEFORE you output any HTML, otherwise the cookie will not be set and your page will have an ugly error stuck on it.
