Re: New user to Plone 4.1 - no option to set Username/Password in Windows installer.

Many thanks Eric.

I'll also add that the two chunks of text about Plone running as a Service on the Installation guide aren't needed either for a first time user.

On my first install, I went through these steps running the various batch commands and got nowhere.  Hence the uninstallation and reinstall.

I launched my browser at http://localhost:8080 straight after the installation and it was all working fine.  Just without the option to progress due to the lack of a Username/Password.

Mike,

I'm forwarding this to the Plone Installers mailing list so that the correct people see it. We've recently had a different group take up creating the Windows installer builds, so there have been some changes.

Subject: [Plone-docs] New user to Plone 4.1 - no option to set Username/Password in Windows installer.


We're investigating various Intranet tools to help replace our antiquated .ASP-driven website.  This week it's the turn of Plone.

I've just downloaded and run: setup-plone41-4.1.2-5119-win32 and in step 6 of the instructions on the website -http://plone.org/documentation/manual/installing-plone/installing-on-windows - it says I should be prompted by a wizard for a Username and Password.  I've tried installing once, removing it (removing any files left behind, naturally) and reinstalling it.  I'm not asked for a Username or Password during the set-up procedure.

I can run Plone afterwards but I cannot get further than the 'Create a new Plone site' option as that's asking me for a Username and Password which I've not been given the chance to set up.

Likewise, there is reference in the instructions to a Plone Windows Controller which should be setup with the above installer - I get nothing of the sort.  There isn't a Plone group in my Windows menus at all.


Any help is appreciated
