None of the steps are working for me either.
Symptoms of the problem:
1- I upgraded today from b2 .6.2.x
2- I followed the instructions from the wiki
documentation
While I had some problems with the addeumum it did eventually work (When I ran the import I believe I got an sql err. I will try and reinstall tonight and post it if it occurs again).
3- Moved all files into root directory of my webpage (Since i didn’t run install.php or update.php I didn’t have options on how to set files up)
4- Login to admin failed, tried reseting pwd through e-mail reminders, no luck. Tried all steps. (minus https, since I’m not using https).
The server is a linux box, running ‘mysql Ver 11.18 Distrib 3.23.58, for redhat-linux-gnu (i386)’ and php 4.38 with apache 2.0
I’m going to restore my db now and start over again. Let you know if anything changes.
