[help] no `create project` at Poject page of gerrit

[prife zhu]

Hi, I am a newbie of gerrit. after setup gerrit, I met several problems:

1) there is no `create project` at Poject page of gerrit, as the following figure shows.

2) sign out don't work

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

necessary informations:

Ubuntu 14.04-64bit

nginx/1.4.6

psql (PostgreSQL) 9.3.9

```

[gerrit]

        basePath = git

        #canonicalWebUrl = http://droi:8081/

        canonicalWebUrl = http://192.168.3.47/gerrit

[database]

        type = postgresql

        hostname = localhost

        database = reviewdb

        username = gerrit2

[index]

        type = LUCENE

[auth]

        #type = OPENID

        type = HTTP

[receive]

        enableSignedPush = false

[sendemail]

        smtpServer = localhost

[container]

        user = gerrit2

        javaHome = /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre

[sshd]

        listenAddress = *:29418

[httpd]

        listenUrl = proxy-http://*:8081/gerrit

[cache]

        directory = cache

```

add following code in /etc/nginx/sites-available/default

    location /gerrit/ {

        proxy_pass http://localhost:8081;

        proxy_set_header  X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;

        proxy_set_header  Host $host;

        auth_basic        "Gerrit Code Review";

        auth_basic_user_file /home/gerrit2/gerrit_passwd/htpasswd.conf;

    }

 I create an user named 'admin' in  /home/gerrit2/gerrit_passwd/htpasswd.conf.

Hi,

the logic for getting the initial admin user is not based on the user name. The first user to login gets admin privileges.
Then additional user can get assigned the  admin role in All-Projects access settings.

Hi  Pedersen,

Thanks for your reply.

The `admin` is not registered in gerrit. I create 'admin' with  `htpasswd -c gerrit_passwd/htpasswd.conf admin`， then

add following code in /etc/nginx/sites-available/default

    location /gerrit/ {

        proxy_pass http://localhost:8081;

        proxy_set_header  X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;

        proxy_set_header  Host $host;

        auth_basic        "Gerrit Code Review";

        auth_basic_user_file /home/gerrit2/gerrit_passwd/htpasswd.conf;

    }

Then, when I open 'http://localhost/gerrit/' in web browser, a dialog just poped, as following. input "admin" then gerrit is opened with "admin" logged in.

How could I gets admin privileges?

I reinstall the gerrit, change sql to h2, then I can create project in web. But I still cannot sign out.

Hi,

Hi,

that you can not log out is expected and documented[1] for  HTTP authentication. Thats something your login frame needs to do (with just htpassword logout is not possible, I think).
