No, seems it was 2.51.3 …

Well, then I would say this is a bug in a version later than 2.51.3. This means a bug report is required.

Hi, all,
I work with LS 2.54.3+161014 and there is no issue.

So IMHO there is no general problem in the latest updates.

Best regards

Hey Joff, the question is: do you update these installations or do you set them up manually each time?

Because my installation of 2.54.4+ 161018 (which is the very latest) doesn't have the problem either. Now 2 (or was it even 3) people that made a fresh install recently reported those input fields missing.

For me there is a very good chance that there is a problem with fresh installations, that updates don't have. If you installed this 2.54.3+ 161014 fresh, then we can narrow the problem down for at least after that I guess.

I will see if I can do a fresh test install tonight at home and see what happens.

I can confirm. Did a fresh install on ubuntu with limesurvey2.54.4+161018.zip and the admin login fields are missing.

I would add a bug report but i can't login in the bugtracking system.

You should be able to login with your forum login. However, you seem to be a new user, so data syncronization between the platforms might take a while.

Oh, I just saw that it worked: bugs.limesurvey.org/view.php?id=11816

But it is posted as a "feature request". Can you adapt it to make it a bug? Unfortunately I can't do this.

Thank you for reporting. The developers depend on your bug reports to solve problems.

Hi, holch,
well, I'll always do a fresh installation.

I upload the zip file of the installation to my server.
Then a small php script unzips it and copies the needed files (config, upload folder and so) from the previous version to the new, then renames both.
Advantage: I always keep the previous versions in case there is something wrong wth the new one.

I'll try the latest version this way right now.

Best regards
Joffm

I wouldn't call this a fresh install. You're copying old files to the new installation with a script. That are files which a new installation don't have. So if the login screen is prevented by a e.g. faulty entry in the config file created by the installer it wouldn't have no impact on you "fresh" installation, right?

Update: Looks like the core plugins were not activated on a fresh installation.

Has this issue been solved? I have a similar issue. I installed limesurvey on my local machine on xampp. Was able to configure. But there is no login input fields to log in to do admin page.

I was able to bypass this by changing the config.php file 'urlFormat' => 'get'

However, the admin page doesn't have any buttons to create survey etc. It just says "no available surveys".

Could you someone help me?
