Logging in to Tiki Wiki on Azure
-
I have tried this twice. I have created a VM in Microsoft Azure for Tiki Wiki (it is available from the Azure Portal as '
Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware packaged by Bitnami'). It comes up successfully with its Login form. However, nowhere in the build is there anywhere to specify an Admin username / password for the Wiki, so I cannot create a 'normal' user. The help pages (e.g. ) tik-wiki-login-help[^] suggest using the 'I don’t know my Admin Username or Email address' link, but that is not there. The alternative is to use cPanel (using instructions at How to Login to cPanel – InMotion Hosting Support Center[^] but that does not work either. The only username / password that I have had to specify when creating was (presumably) for the root user; but, as this is a SaaS offering, I cannot log on to the VM. Any clues would be appreciated! Thanks in advance. -

Thanks in advance.I can only suppose you are referring to a problem with tiki-wiki and thus it really has nothing to do with cloud computing. Only thing I would suggest is that before diving into cloud VMs you should run the application(s) locally first so you understand exactly how to install it, configure it and use it. Briefly looking I see that from the install process for that product it describes how to create the admin user during the install process on Step 10. Installing TikiWiki manually | InMotion Hosting[^] If that does not seem to be the problem then maybe you could explain your problem in a different way to make it clear what it is.

Thanks for the response - my post is from 15 months ago. I abandoned TikiWiki and used DocuWiki instead. DocuWiki is a good, relatively easy to use, product (and free from BitNami on Azure). Unfortunately, the management did not like it - it looked too old fashioned for them and they decided to go with a Teams / SharePoint solution. I do not know how they are progressing with that as they decided that my time with them had finished.

The password can be found by SSHing into your VM and running: cat /opt/bitnami/var/log/tiki.log. Reset Password: If needed, SSH into the VM and run: sudo /opt/bitnami/apps/tiki/bin/tiki-cli user update --user=admin --password=newpassword. Check the Bitnami documentation for additional help. Good luck!

While I applaud your urge to help people, it's a good idea to stick to new questions, rather than 2 year old ones. After that amount of time, it's unlikely that the original poster is at all interested in the problem any more! Answering old questions can be seen as rep-point hunting, which is a form of site abuse. The more trigger happy amongst us will start the process of banning you from the site if you aren't careful. Stick to new questions and you'll be fine.

Thanks! You are correct. In fact my reply from April 2023 states why it was no longer relevant. But it was nice to be reminded about it. :)
