admin login in edx-platform

[Виктор Цедрик]

Hi all!
Today I install edx-platform with help of https://github.com/edx/configuration/wiki#installing-edx-on-a-single-ubuntu-1204-precise-server.
All is ok, but I do not understand how can I change language of cms and lms from english to russian and when I go to http://my-ip/admin what must I enter there?
What default admin login and password for page http://my-ip/admin ???
Please help me. Sorry for my bad English
With best regards

[Chris Dodge]

Hi,

Can you look at: https://github.com/edx/edx-platform/wiki/Internationalization-and-localization and see if that answers your questions?

[Виктор Цедрик]

I can not do this because I have not file lms/env/environment.py

3. Configure it in your lms/env/environment.py, for instance create one called dev_es.py with the following: 

from .dev import *

USE_I18N = True
LANGUAGES = ( ('es_419', 'Spanish'), )
TIME_ZONE = 'America/Guayaquil'
LANGUAGE_CODE = 'es_419'

please help

[Chris Dodge]

I think environment.py is really meant to be a variable where you substitute your particular environment .py file.

You should be able to add it to /lms/env/common.py, but I haven't tried that.

[Виктор Цедрик]

Thank you very much! My edx-platform is on Russian now.

Please help me with my second question - What default admin login and password for page http://my-ip/admin ???

Thank you. Please help

[Chris Dodge]

Congrats. Sorry, I don't know the answer to your second question. Anyone else?

Where you prompted to create an account when you ran the installation scripts?

One other guess is that you need to set the "is_staff" bit on the auth_user database record. We have a django-admin command line for this:

django-admin.py set_staff <email> --settings=lms.envs.cms.dev --pythonpath=.

(run from the root of the edx-platform directory)

Good luck....

[John Jarvis]

We don't create a default admin login as part of the platform installation (it's probably something we should do, feel free to submit a feature request on the configuration repo).

You will need to create a user manually either using the django shell or the set_staff manage.py command.

Thank you for answer.
I have a lot of files with name django-admin.py. Which must I use?

If I make command, for example
/opt/edx/bin/django-admin.py createsuperuser
I receive error


root@edx:/opt/wwc/edx-platform# /opt/edx/bin/django-admin.py createsuperuser
Unknown command: 'createsuperuser'
Type 'django-admin.py help' for usage.


Please help

[Yarko Tymciurak]

Hello Viktor -

I do not think you want to use django-admin for this (?).  I think the command you should want is from manage.py - but I'm not sure what the environment has to be (do you run it with rake?  with python?)

You can confirm this in a development VM, where you'd do:

   python manage.py cms help

and see that's where you find "creatsuperuser" as an option, and so you would run "python manage.py cms createsuperuser".

I'm not sure what you need to do on a deployed instance to accomplish the same.

Maybe someone with more familiarity with a deployed system can chime in.

Regards,
- Yarko

Thank all for your help!
I simply installed my edx-platform with manual https://github.com/edx/configuration/wiki#installing-edx-on-a-single-ubuntu-1204-precise-server.
In this manual all steps is automatic. After installation I have working system (cms & lms) but I do not understand at all what must I do for login as superuser (admin). After this installation I have a lot of directories with many-many files. There are a lot of files have name manage.py Here is my files with this name -
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/boto/manage/test_manage.pyc
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/boto/manage/test_manage.py

/opt/edx-ora/virtualenvs/edx-ora/lib/python2.7/site-packages/boto/manage/test_manage.py


Which from this files must I execute for command python manage.py cms createsuperuser ? For example I think that this file is /opt/wwc/edx-platform/manage.py. I executed it and received

root@edx:/opt/wwc/edx-platform# /opt/wwc/edx-platform/manage.py -h
usage: manage.py [-h] {lms,cms} ...

optional arguments:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit

system:
  edX service to run

  {lms,cms}
    lms       Learning Management System
    cms       Studio

I understood that I must write cms or lms. My next step is

root@edx:/opt/wwc/edx-platform# /opt/wwc/edx-platform/manage.py cms

Please help me with it. As I understand - if this manual was written (https://github.com/edx/configuration/wiki#installing-edx-on-a-single-ubuntu-1204-precise-server.) in it must be some words about admin profile. Thank you and please help.

[Виктор Цедрик]

I decided all my problem


My command for making superuser is

sudo -u www-data SERVICE_VARIANT=lms /opt/edx/bin/django-admin.py createsuperuser --settings=lms.envs.aws --pythonpath=/opt/wwc/edx-platform

Thanks for all very much. Theme is closed.

[Puntxo]

Thank you very much! I also wanted to access the admin site and asked people in the group with no luck. Finally it works with your help.

Could you also tell us how you have activated the russian language? I've also installed edx following the instructions for Ubuntu 12.04 in the configuration section but when trying to add a new language I get an error in the "rake i18n:generate" command, and only a few strings are translated.

[Chris Dodge]

Can I recommend someone writing this up on the Wiki pages on the edX repo. It's good to capture this knowledge so that others don't have to struggle with this particular issue:

https://github.com/edx/edx-platform/wiki

[John Jarvis]

If you are using our vagrant image the command will be something like this:

sudo -u www-data /opt/edx/bin/python /opt/wwc/edx-platform/manage.py lms --settings=aws --service-variant lms createsuperuser --username <user>

Or if you are in a different environment modify the paths to your needs.  

I've updated https://github.com/edx/edx-platform/wiki/Shell-commands with info on how to run manage.py.

-John

[David Norwood]

Folks -- does this mean that there *is* an admin "site"? Like, at ../admin?

TIA

[John Jarvis]

Yes, by default nothing is done to disable the admin site. You will just need to create a superuser to log into it.

[Pedro Rodriguez]

I tried this command

sudo -u www-data /opt/edx/bin/python /opt/wwc/edx-platform/manage.py lms --settings=aws --service-variant lms createsuperuser --username <user>

On an Ubuntu Precise installation, everything is working normally (lms and cms are running well), but I get the following error

Traceback (most recent call last):

    '%r: %s' % (name, e))

[Pedro Rodriguez]

Adding to this, when I run python manage.py lms help from /edx-platform I get this:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "manage.py", line 90, in <module>

    startup = importlib.import_module(edx_args.startup)

    from django.conf import settings

ImportError: No module named django.conf

[Pedro Rodriguez]

Figured out Iw as running the wrong python so that fixed that error, but I think my base error is this by running

/opt/edx/bin/python manage.py lms syncdb

sqlite3.OperationalError: unable to open database file

[Ovnicraft]

Here your error is about open mitx.db sqlite file, you must follow the commands in wiki to get works.

When you work with vagrant you dont need to specify path to run python.

Could you post a link to which part you mean. I have been over most of the wiki again looking for mention of that sqlite file but didn't find anything
