		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Original page content from 09-Feb-2009&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;After your (hopefully) successfull installation of refbase, you should create your own admin account.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Please, make sure that you exactly follow the steps outlined on the welcome page after successful installation. These steps are:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Goto the main refbase page (''Home'')&lt;br /&gt;
* Login with email address = ''user@refbase.net'' and password = ''start''&lt;br /&gt;
: (make sure that the top right corner of your screen says: &amp;quot;You're logged in as Admin (''user@refbase.net''), if not see [[#Troubleshooting| Troubleshooting]] below)&lt;br /&gt;
* Click on ''Add User'' and enter the name, institutional abbreviation, email address and password of the admin user&lt;br /&gt;
* Open the file ''initialize/ini.inc.php'' in a text editor and change the value of the ''$adminLoginEmail'' variable to the email address you've specified for the admin user&lt;br /&gt;
* Log out, then login again using the email address and password of your newly created admin account&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Especially note that you must set the value of the ''$adminLoginEmail'' variable in file ''initialize/ini.inc.php'' to the email address of your newly created admin user (step 4.).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Troubleshooting ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When being logged in as admin, you should see a red &amp;quot;Admin&amp;quot; label in front of your email address at the top right corner of the screen. An example screenshot is given [[Manual_installation#2.5_Setup_your_own_admin_user|here]]. If this is not the case for you, the following tips may help you to get things working properly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You won't be able to login as admin using email address = ''user@refbase.net'' and password = ''start'' if you've already changed the value of the ''$adminLoginEmail'' variable ''before'' attempting to login for the first time. This variable must only be changed ''after'' you've created your own admin user.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also, please make sure that:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* your PHP installation supports sessions&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;session.use_cookies&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; is set to ON in your [[Required_PHP-INI_Settings#How_to_locate_your_active_php.ini_file|active ''php.ini'' file]]&lt;br /&gt;
* you have cookies enabled in your browser&lt;br /&gt;
* you've instructed your browser to accept cookies from your refbase site&lt;br /&gt;
