[SOLVED] Only able to register the first user on a new emoncms 9.3 installation

Hello,

as the title says I'm not able to register any new user apart from the first one (admin) because the "or register" option disappears from the login page.

Some more info:

The host is a VPS with Debian Jessie 64 bit, I've already installed successfully several previous versions of emoncms and I've already double-double checked the installation steps.

After deleting and re-creating the emoncms db I can again register the first user.

I've already tried some solutions to similar problems documented in this forum but with no luck.

I get no errors in the browser console.

Any clue?

Thanks in advance,

Federico.

Sounds obvious, but have you have set the "$enable_multi_user = false;" to true in settings.php?

Aaargh!!

Shame on me.

In the past I installed so many times the emoncms server that this time I didn't bother to check if there were new settings in the settings.php file (previously I was using ver. 8.4).

Thank you very much for your "obvious" tip that hit the mark. Sorry for not being able to find it by myself.

Best regards,

Federico.

I don't think you are the first or will be the last to get caught out.

I believe it has been there for sometime but it's default setting has been changed, so it probally slipped in under the radar as it's not really a new setting.
