As told in this post, when I run this command to create an admin user on a new disco installation, thru rails console (without having to activate thru email, for just once, for one admin): u = User.create!(username: ‘xx’, email: ‘xx@xx.com’, password: ‘xxx’, mailing_list_mode: ‘true’);u.approve(Discourse.system_user, false) ; u.activate I get this error: [1] pry(main)> =“u = User.create!(username: 'user1’, email: ‘user1@email.com’, password: ‘Password12345’, mailing_list_mode: ‘true’);u.approve(Discourse.system_user, false) ; u.activate" SyntaxError: unexpected '=', expecting end-of-input =“u = User.create!(username:... ^ I’m no user of rails commands, I could appreciate if you could tell the exact command with exact quotes etc I’ve to use in the command in order to just create 1 admin user on a fresh Disco installation.

It isn’t entered in the rails console. Use: ./launcher enter app rake admin:create

Take your pick: rake admin:create # Creates a forum administrator rake admin:invite[email] # invite an admin to this discourse instance FYI, when you are not sure, you can always: rake --tasks To get a list of rakes.

Thanks. But email sending is not working, that’s why I said I want to use it only once, just to create one admin user.

rake admin:create that’ll help you create admin

[image] itsbhanusharma: rake admin:create But in this command, we’ve not specified any username or password. how will we login thereafter? Sorry, as I said, I don’t know a thing about rails commands. Just want to this one ‘needed’ command. [6] pry(main)> rake admin:create # Creates a forum administrator NameError: undefined local variable or method `create' for main:Object from (pry):5:in `__pry__'

[image] Bathinda: Thanks. But email sending is not working, that’s why I said I want to use it only once, just to create one admin user. That is why I posted two choices. You can pick based on your situation now and in the future.

[6] pry(main)> rake admin:create # Creates a forum administrator NameError: undefined local variable or method `create' for main:Object from (pry):5:in `__pry__'

Oh! my my!! Thanks. Did it, and all ok now.
