I published the question below a couple of days ago but got no answer. Can I hope to get one? Or would the incredible magic of Exponential remain secret to my unfortunate being?

I finally got the installation completed and working. I logged in a first time, played a lilttle then logged out. When I went back to log in, I only got a "login" link (no text boxes) that only take me to another page that looks the same.
I tried to login at
http://mysite.com/ez/index.php/plain_admin
and was taken to
http://mysite.com/ez/index.php/plain_admin/class/grouplist/
I enabled the debugging mode and got this:
eZ debug Timing: Nov 02 2003 17:19:03 Script start Timing: Nov 02 2003 17:19:03 Module start 'user' Warning: eZTemplate Nov 02 2003 17:19:03 No template could be loaded for "user/login.tpl" using resource "design" Timing: Nov 02 2003 17:19:03 Module end 'user' Timing: Nov 02 2003 17:19:03 End
I checked that design/admin/templates/user/login.tpl was there and it is (775 permissions).
I installed Exponential 3.2-3 in a shared hosting service with no shell access which runs Apache. MySql version is 3.23.49a.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Did you also check "design/plain_admin" (or whatever the design is you have configured in the siteaccess configuration)? Did you clear the cache?

Hi Kai,
thanks for your reply! I was already tinking about uninstalling eZ. Under the 'design' folder I only have three other folder:
- admin - plain- standard
There's a 'login.tpl' on admin/templates/user/ and standard/templates/user/ but nothing under the 'plain' folder.
Regarding the cache issue, I did clear the cache of my browser if that's what you're referring too, but I still see no login boxes ... Do you have anymore suggestions?
Thanks,

Hi Victor,
Ok, I think something probably went wrong with your installation. Do the following:
1. Check the file "settings/siteaccess/plain_admin/site.ini.append". In it there is a setting: ... [DesignSettings] SiteDesign=plain_admin ...Now, if it is "plain_admin", then change it to "admin". If it is "admin" already, then something else is *very* wrong.
2. Delete the cache files under directory "var/cache".
Now, try it again. If the "admin" part works now, then also check the file "site.ini.append" in "settings/siteaccess/plain" (or "plain_user"). There the variable "SiteDesign" has to be set to an existing directory in "design".
Exponential is very powerful, but this also makes it a bit difficult to learn in the beginning. I suggest you read a bit more in the documentation at: http://ez.no/developer/ez_publish_3/documentationand especially http://ez.no/developer/ez_publish_3/documentation/building_an_ez_publish_site
Hope this helps a bit.

thanks a lot for your help!
I think something did go *really wrong* then since I can only see an 'admin' folder under 'settings/siteaccess' and no 'plain_admin'
What's recommended in this case? Re-install? If so, what's the best way of doing it?
Thanks again!

I'd recommend a reinstall. Not much to lose anyway.
