Can't login after fresh install

Added by Mate Koch about 11 years ago

Hi!

I just installed OpenProject on Debian following the tutorial on the Install page. Everything seemed to work well, when I open http://localhost, I can see an openproject page (although it’s blank, except of the blue header and footer).
The problem is that I cannot login with any user, and also can’t create new users. admin/admin doesn’t work, and in the users table I see only one Anonymous user with no username or password.

When I try to create a new user, it appears in the list, but then I cannot log in since it’s not activated. I set the email preferences using the tutorial for a valid gmail account, but when openproject tries to send an email (e.g. when using Lost password), I get server error.

I tried to modify the database, and update the users table, so that the status of the newly created user is 0 instead of 2, but still no luck.

Any idea what am I missing?

Thanks!

Hello Mate,

you probably miss the seeds. Try rake db:seed. After that the default admin user should be available.

Kind regards,
Hagen

Thank you Hagen!
