Hi, I am trying to elevate a user’s permission to Admin. The email notification I get asking “Confirm Administrator Account” takes me to a link that seems to be a broken Discourse . Discourse displays the following error [image]

You have to log in before clicking that link. Or perhaps you’ve edited a template and the link is broken?

How was this instance installed? How is it configured? Are you using a subfolder?

Hi Stephen, I followed the directions for installing on AWS EC2. I did not create any subfolder.

You followed these instructions? docs/INSTALL-cloud.md main # Install Discourse on a Cloud Server > To install and self-host Discourse, follow the steps below. But if you'd rather skip the setup, maintenance, and server management, our official Discourse hosting takes care of everything for you. > > [Learn more about Discourse hosting](https://discourse.org/pricing) > If you prefer to self-host but need help setting it up we have partners who can help. > [Click here to explore self-hosting set-up options](https://discourse.org/partners). **Set up Discourse in about 10 minutes** with zero knowledge of Rails or Linux shell.

Stephen, it has been a while since I installed. I think this is what I did: Hostname for your Discourse? [discourse.example.com]: Email address for admin account(s)? [me@example.com,you@example.com]: SMTP server address? [smtp.example.com]: SMTP port? [587]: SMTP user name? [user@example.com]: SMTP password? [pa$word]: Let's Encrypt account email? (ENTER to skip) [me@example.com]: This will generate an app.yml configuration file on your behalf, and then kicks off bootstrap. Bootstrapping takes between 2-8 minutes to set up your Discourse. If you need to change these settings after bootstrapping, you can run ./discourse-setup again (it will re-use your previous values from the file) or edit /containers/app.yml manually with nano and then ./launcher rebuild app , otherwise your changes will not take effect.

Thanks Jay! I had logged in as Admin before clicking the link. Which template are you referring to where I could have broken the link?
