New installation help

[Umesh Mohan]

Hi all,

I followed the manual ubuntu installation instructions from

https://www.archivematica.org/en/docs/archivematica-1.13/admin-manual/installation-setup/installation/install-ubuntu/

After the post-install configuration step 4 (dashboard welcome page -> create administrative user), I am unable to login using the credentials I set.

I tried to  run the manage.py script from /usr/share/archivematica/dashboard after activating the virtualenv at /usr/share/archivematica/virtualenvs/archivematica but I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "manage.py", line 13, in <module>
   execute_from_command_line(sys.argv)
 File "/usr/share/archivematica/virtualenvs/archivematica/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 364, in execute_from_command_line

   from appconfig import Config, process_search_enabled
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'appconfig'

Please let me know how to proceed from here.

Thanks,

I can let you know how I found the problem when I hit this error.  I  tried logging into mysql as the archivematica and SS users  using the default password and then the one I expected.   The default was still being used in the SS database which caused the problem.  It was easy to go back and correct the password reference.
