Create a New User Account for ThePsalter

You need a valid account to access some of the pages in this wiki.

Unfortunately, due to numerous spam attacks, we have had to disable making a new account yourself. What you need to do is:

  1. Send an email to [email protected] with Subject "New Wiki Account (Your Name)" - mail body not needed

  2. We will create an account for you and send you the password.
  3. When you receive the password, click on the 'Login' button at the top of the page to validate yourself.
    1. Enter your username and password
    2. You should do this every time you visit any of these wiki pages.
    3. Most browsers will allow you to remember your details automatically. Click "yes" if you are asked whether you want the username and password saved. (Warning: only do this if you are using a private computer!)
  4. Once you have familiarized yourself with the wiki page, click on the 'Settings' link and then 'Change Password' to change your password. You should do this since the password sent to you is not secure.

You can also visit the HelpOnLogin page for help on logging in once you have an account.

Note to superusers: to create a new account from the command line, use this form 

[sudo bash]
cd /var/wiki/share/moin/server
./moin --config-dir=/var/wiki/share/moin/server --wiki-url=http://wiki.gwuc.org.au/gwuc/ account create --name=<WikiName> --password=<freetext> --alias=<whatever> --email=<whatever>
cd data/user
chown www-data:www-data <userfilejustcreated>

According to the documentation, the --config-dir defaults to the current directory if omitted, so it is optional - but I prefer to play safe.

This page is also part of the HowToUseTheChurchWiki page.
