Re: Release 2.3.21

There is a new variable in config.default.php

    /* Whether to allow sending new password by e-mail */
    $allow_password_reset = false;

If you haven't set it then copy and paste this into config.php and set the variable to true.

Now it should work. Maybe I missed this in the update.html file.

After I set the variable to true, how can I sending the password by email? I don't find this option at the home page. And Im' using 2.3.21. I lost the password to access my second company 1_ . What can I do...?

Re: Release 2.3.21

If you have set the variable correctly, you should see an extra link in the login box. Pressing that will act on this.

Re: Release 2.3.21

Thanks Joe, I think I set this variable to "true" but I don't see any extra link in the login box. I'm using Version 2.3.21 Build 21.05.2014. Is there anything else I need to do?

Re: Release 2.3.21

Hi Joe,

* Fixed sql mode setting for MySql databases greater than release 5.5.

My current database MySql is version 5.1 and I am asked to upgrade to 5.5. Would FA 2.3.21 work with Mysql 5.5 work without changing engine type?

Thanks.

Re: Release 2.3.21

I am sorry. You should set this variable: $allow_password_reset = true also in config.php.

Then the link should be visible.
