First login 1.7
Good day all,
I am a new user of OpenVPMS and have installed the entire software chain for the latest version (1.7 - 5765). The installation notes for this release state that at the login screen the subscription status is displayed and if one has not paid, that a link to the payment page will be shown. Once paid, a subscription key will be mailed.
The installation of the software went well and I did indeed arrive at the login page. We have paid the subscription now and have received the subscription key. The problem is that it seems insertion of the subscription key requires logging in as an administrator. But I can't login without the key. But I can't insert the key without logging in. You see my dilemma?
Is there some secret to doing an intital login on a new installation or is there some way to insert the key without logging in? Or does the fact that I can't login mean that I screwed up something in the installation?
Thanks
Sam
Re: First login 1.7
Sam - if you built your system using the database in the release package, then there should be one user in the system, admin, with password admin.
As it says in section 1.8 of the readme.txt
"1.8 Testing the installation
To test the installation, open up your Internet Browser and enter the
address:
http://localhost:8080/openvpms/app
Login to OpenVPMS using user admin and password admin"

Hi Tim,
Thanks for your response. I did indeed use the database from the release package but was not able to use the procedure outlined in section 1.4 of the release notes. I'm installing on Ubuntu Server 14.04 and mysql installs under the user "root". So I used the 2008 guide titled Linux Install Guide that I found on the site as follows:
It's basically doing the same thing. Then I ran the dataload script. I guess that the first time through, I must have skipped a step somewhere, because doing it again, fixed the problem.
Your comment got me to stop focusing on the subscription and more correctly on the database installation. So that was a big help.
Thanks again,
Sam
