Creating an admin user in production on Spree

Question

I deployed my Spree app to a server. Locally I can login as an admin and change things, but on the server this password and account does not work. When I go to /admin I get the message authorization failure.

I did already run bundle exec rake spree_auth:admin:create and bundle exec rake db:migrate but this does not work. Furthermore, I can also login with my e-mailaddress and password I got from the hosting company, but I can not go to the admin page.

Does anyone know how I create an admin user?

Answer 1

Deploying Spree doesn't (and shouldn't) copy your database from development to production.

So your development admin user doesn't exist on the production database.

SSH into your production server and try:

rake spree_auth:admin:create

Update:

Do this in /data/spree/current

Thanks. I will try that this evening. In which folder on the server should I run this command? Public, shared, or another one? – Deportation

There it says: "rake aborted! database configuration does not specify adapter" – Deportation

Doing: RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake db:migrate helped. – Deportation

Glad you figured it out. – Austere

in production rake spree_auth:admin:create return error but RAILS_ENV=production rake spree_auth:admin:create works perfect – Poulenc

You can run the DB seeds, which include the admin user:

RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake db:seed

If you also want to add sample data, you can run:

RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake spree_sample:load
