Sending forgotten password not working

[Simsa]

Hi everyone,

the “forgot password”-dialog ends always with: “User not found” at my site, although I’m 100% sure the user exists (I can login with this user). Is something wrong with my installation or is it a bug?

I use Zerotruth 2.0RC2 with Zeroshell 3.0.

Thanks, Simsa

Hi,

thank you for your fast reply and the tests!
So there seems to be something wrong at my site 🙁

Maybe it is related to a problem with crontab: At boot the message: “”/tmp/crontab.XXXXYHWFfB”:7: bad day-of-week” appears.

The crontab looks indeed quite messy: http://pastebin.com/VJFuDhBX
Could you maybe share your crontab or a hint what I can delete/change?

Thanks,
Simsa

I do not think it comes to this. But it is certainly a problem.
As you enter the user?
Meanwhile, delete the cron-program and try to register the user.
Then check crontab

I agree the crontab mess has nothing to do with the password change dialog, but with the cron thing is definitely something wrong. I deleted the content of crontab but when I click save under konfig -> backup all the things reappear in crontab inclusive the error message “can’t install cron: bad day-of-week”.

UPDATE: It’s not only the backup-dialog it’s also with the register user and probably some more (I did not test more function yet).

hi,

rm -rf /Database/var/register/system/startup/scripts/*START*

rm -rf /Database/var/register/system/startup/scripts/*STOP*

/DB/apache2/cgi-bin/zerotruth/scripts/zt.sh RestartCron

Hi,

thank you, that worked very well!
Should I now expect any disadvantages because of removing the start and stop scripts?
For example will the backup still work?

Ok back to the actually topic: now I know why sending passwords did not work: I don’t use the send sms function, and if I don’t enter a mobile phone number but only the username and mail address, the message “Username unknown” appears.
So it’s probably designed to work only per sms. So I think I will change the message to something like: “Your username is wrong or you forgot to enter your mobile phone number” or something similar.

Many Greetings, Simsa
