How can I add admin user

[forrotransfer]

Hello,
We are using in our company postfix.admin v 2.3.6
The person who installed the application is not working any more in our co. We need to create another admin user. I attached a picture with the login screen.
May anybody help us?
Thank you for your support,

Hi - go to https://xxxxxxxxx/postfixadmin/setup.php - in there you can generate a new 'setup' password.

You'll see something like :

$CONF['setup_password'] = 'e92df810317434d465301dd337682d9f:e76cf263108da17bd8d74018aa0900c961ec1502';

You need to put that into the config.inc.php (perhaps) or config.local.php (better) file. That might be in somewhere like /etc/postfixadmin on the server.

Once that's done, you can use setup.php to create a new admin account (the Create superadmin account form is only shown after you've submitted the form with something in).

thank you for your response. I looked into setup.php and I did not find $CONF['setup_password'] =
Brgds,

[DavidGoodwin]

sorry; i screwed up my formatting; does it make more sense now?

[forrotransfer]

Sorry, but I do not understand: in setup.php i do not find the field $CONF['setup_password'] =
I must put it manually in the file setup.php?
When i try to access https://xxxxxxxxx/postfixadmin/setup.php the message is: Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /postfixadmin/setup.php on this server.

Look in config.inc.php (perhaps) or config.local.php (better) file.

I found the field: $CONF['setup_password'] ='85b.........' in the config.local.php
What should I do?

[DavidGoodwin]

As I said above, change it .... to a newly generated value that you know.

The setup.php page will generate a setup password for you if you from the 'Change setup password' form (just type a new one into each box and click 'Generate password hash'). This will output what you need to put in your $CONF['setup_password'] entry (along with instructions)

Then use that setup password to create a superadmin account using the form that's shown to you. In the screenshot attached I used something like 'asdf123'

When i try to access https://xxxxxxxxx/postfixadmin/setup.php, the result is:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /postfixadmin/setup.php on this server.

How can i change the password if i can not access https://xxxxxxxxx/postfixadmin/setup.php?

[DavidGoodwin]

Check the web server config (and look for a .htaccess file too).

Hello ,
May I open the below issue?
Thx

[DavidGoodwin]

Sorry; I missed this.

Update your .htaccess file and change the line that currently says :

RewriteRule ^/?(README(.md) ?|INSTALL|LICENSE|CHANGELOG|UPGRADING|setup.php)$ - [F]

with

RewriteRule ^/?(README(.md) ?|INSTALL|LICENSE|CHANGELOG|UPGRADING)$ - [F]

and you should be able to access setup.php (i.e. remove |setup.php ) from your web browser.

what a piece of shit

[ghost]

it doesn't seem to like my email address email address

[ghost]

is there an alternative way I can not do this shit and still somehow use this php script?

[ghost]

ok this is what you need to start telling people:

HOW 2 FIXX

root@postfixadmin:/var/www/html# echo "\$CONF['encrypt'] = 'md5';" >> config.inc.php 

UPDATE `admin` SET `password` = MD5('password') WHERE `admin`.`username` = 'root@localhost';

At a guess, I would suspect your computer has problems performing DNS lookups.
