cannot login into the admin area

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hello, i just installed drydock on my server (LAMP server).
Everything went fine but, i just can't log into the admin area, it gives me
this error:

" There was an error processing your request.
Possible causes:
Invalid username
Invalid password
Your account has not been approved
Your account has been disabled "

but i repeat, is a fresh install.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Which version of drydock are you using?  There have been some issues with 
logins that
might not be fixed in the trunk branch (but fixed in the SQLite branch).  Is
THsecret_salt defined in your config.php?

i'm using the trunk version actually.
the THsecret_salt isn't defined (it's blank) what should i have to write there?

thanks again

Write anything you want, but then you will need to md5 your salted passwords.  

Also, I thought this had been fixed?

If you need help with it, let me know.

Is there a fix for this on a revision? I'm having troubles with it also as I 
cannot 
log-in to the admin panel. (Also using the trunk 0.3.1)

Thanks.

I was still under the impression that something had been put into trunk to fix 
this
issue.  Perhaps this is not the case.  I'll try to look into it over the 
weekend or
next week once I start coding again.

Apparently this fix never made it back into trunk some how, so I copied a fix 
from
SVN build back into trunk.  Sorry that it took so long.

If you'd like to fix your build, grab configure.php from the trunk and run the 
config
script again.

Or, if you'd rather keep your install and just can't get it to work, you'll 
need to
manually define THsecret_salt in config.php (It can be anything, just make sure 
it's
something long and hard to guess), by adding
define("THsecret_salt","SOMETHINGHARDTOGUESS"); to config.php

Then run this script (save at salt.php, or something else):
<?php include("config.php"); echo md5(THsecret_salt."YOURPASSWORDHERE"); ?>
Place the resulting salted password into the database and delete the file you 
created
(salt.php)
