Hi Rob,
Had the same problem. But I’ve just solved it, I think!
Seems like the problem is with the final configuration.
As you are aware, it’s a two step install process. The first step sets up the database.
It’s the secound step that is causing the problem.
The secound step has the following message:
“ATTENTION! Installation of Dew-NewPHPLinks requires an additional step!”
“Click here to protect the administration area”
If you do as requested you won’t be able to log into the admin area. What I did was ignore this instruction and clicked back to c-panel admin and was able to log into the directory.
Hope this helps.
All the best.
