Topic: login problem

[dharvey]

Hi All,
I am new to linux.  Have installed smeserver on this one machine and it works great.  But I have one problem, that is login and password.  I have installed 3 times trying to set the login correctly but no matter what I use will not let me into the system.  So I am doing something wrong.
Thanks for any advice.

To have us help you we need some more information. What did you try and what error did you get back. What do you mean by setting the login correctly?

Remember that during installation only the root and admin account are created with the password of your choice. After succesfull installation you should be able to login to the server-manager as admin and create additional account. Also have a look at the manual.

Before you spend too much more time on SME, you might want to read this:

http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Server:Documentation

During the SME install, you will be asked to input an administrator password.  Make sure you keep track of what you input here.

To access the server-manager, point a web browser on your LAN to https://yourdomain/server-manager.  Use the username admin and the administrator password you setup during the install.

Thanks Greg and Everyone

Using the name 'admin' on the login was what I was missing.  I moved my files over and it works great, really fast.

Now to explore the possibilities further by getting into the docs.
