Where is the Flag for initial user set

[jhstephenson]

Somehow the application I am working on thinks that the initial user has already been set. I took a copy of the app home to work on and the original did have one set. But on my home computer, after cloning the app, it think that I have already set the administrator user and password.

How do I reset the application so that it prompt me for the initial user/administrator?

The "initial user set" flag is not a flag, it is just "Users.count >
0". So if you really want to reset it, just remove all your users.

That is interesting. There are no records in the Users file.

The front page of the app seems to know that there aren't any records in the User table because it has the message:

There are no user accounts - please provide the details of the site administrator

But the fields to enter the administrator do not show up.

Have you modified the permissions or the lifecycle for the user model?

Ok. The problem is that in the Rapid Rails 3 with Hobo tutorial, on page 229 it says to change the permissions for create_permitted to acting_user.administrator?. It should probably say "    acting_user.administrator? ||     self.class.count == 0"

Once I changed it to that it worked just fine.
