Adding Users

Installed the Tracks stack on Windows 2003 Server at work. Works fine!! Boy, much easier than the last time I installed Tracks Ruby, mySQL,Tracks what have you!! this is a pleasure – I can access over the intranet on port 80, as well.

Was wondering how I can add another user? I created an ‘admin’ during setup, but I want to add another user.. I dont see a signup page, or am I missing something?

Thanks much… Love Bitnami

Hi guhan.ramanan,

I seems that you found a bug on Tracks Stack 1.5-0. The default user created during the installation has no Admin privileges. We are working on releasing a fix ASAP. If you don’t want to wait or uninstall your existent Tracks Stack you can fix the problem running the following within a console:

"C:\Program Files\BitNami Tracks Stack\ruby\bin\ruby.exe" "C:\Program Files\BitNami Tracks Stack\tracks\script\runner" -e production "u=User.new(:login=>'MyUser',:password=>'MyPass',:password_confirmation=>'MyPass');u.is_admin=true;u.save!;u.create_preference"

That will create an admin user called MyUser and password MyPass. Sorry for the inconvenience.

cheers,

Manuel

The just released version (1.5-1) fixes the bug.

Thanks for reporting it.

Manuel, Thank you for you prompt help – I did come back – copy paste the command line and all is well. I forgot my forum password(dumb me!) and my spam blocker kept blocking my activation mails from the forum and so couldnt come back to say Thanks..
Anyways, muchas gracias!
