[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

P.S. I'll post this same query into the Plone LinkedIn group when my membership request is granted.

Hi,

I've just gone through the process of using the new installer and
written up the following article:

http://www.catapultsolutions.net/resources/installing-plone-4-1-2-using-the-windows-installer.html

The main thing I think you're missing is the login info. The default
username is "admin" and the password is also "admin" (no quotes).

I found this by looking into the buildout.cfg file.

HTH,

Plone 4.1 revamped Windows installer and feedback for the new
installer is welcome. The new installer is open source now and this
should make it more easier to maintain in the future, but currently
unfortunatelty has some serious regression regarding accessibility.

Please report all issues here (plone.org username needed) and also
find the documentation regarding the installer:

I do not have time to figure out the best way. It appears to be the
easiest thing
would be to generate a file after installation that says
"README-AFTER-INSTALL.txt"
which says the port number and login/password.

does that fix the immediate needs?
