OpenEdx Django admin panel

[Wenting Ma]

Hi there,

Does anyone know how to get the user name and password for the Django admin panel at : http://[server-IP-address]/admin? I installed my openedx instance from Bitnami Open edX in the Amazon market place. Please advise! Thanks!

Hi,

You need to create a superuser from django shell. Following is the procedure.

1. Login to the server and change to the /edx/app/edxapp/edx-platform directory to use manage.py
2. Create superuser (with profile) - Replace "us...@example.com" with the email address you want to use, and replace "user" with the first part of the email address that you used. So for example, if you use "staf...@yourdomain.com" for the email address, the username will be "staff+87".
   

sudo -u www-data /edx/bin/python.edxapp ./manage.py lms --settings aws create_user -s -p edx -e user@example.com

sudo -u www-data /edx/bin/python.edxapp ./manage.py lms --settings aws changepassword user
sudo

sudo -u www-data /edx/bin/python.edxapp ./manage.py lms --settings aws shell

from django.contrib.auth.models import User

me = User.objects.get(username="user")

me.is_superuser = True

me.is_staff = True

me.save()
