Hi all,

I am having difficulties registering new users, I was able to setup twiki up to registering new user stage but whenever I submit the new user form I get the error below:

There has been a problem adding your user id to the Password system. Please contact 0. You have not been registered.

I have checked my .htpasswd file and its perfectly okay and all file access right are also okay. Find below the access right on .htpasswd file -rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 0 2010-10-22 13:09 .htpasswd

The only thing strange is that I dont have the files TWikiUser.txt TWikiUser.txt,v

in my /home/noc1/twiki/data/Main directory

Does anyone have an idea of whats wrong?

Discussion and Answer

Hello. Check in configure script

• Security Setup
  • {UserMappingManager} : TWiki::Users::TWikiUserMapping
  • {PasswordManager} : TWiki::Users::HtPasswdUser
  • {Htpasswd}{FileName} : the correct path to .htpasswd file.

The TWikiUser topic is created for you when you register the first user.

Check also your SMTP settings. Registration won't work if outbound e-mail is not working.

Check your /twiki/data/ directory for warn{DATE}.txt fiels. Chances are you've got a bunch of Registration failed: exec failed: No such file or directory /usr/bin/rcs at ...

In that case:

sudo apt-get install rcs

should fix this problem.
