Hello everyone,

I have setup ThingSpeak locally on an Ubuntu 15.05 server and I will like to access its admin page from: localhost:3000/admin/ but I have try all possible admin name still not being able to login into it.

I have follow instruction at: http://community.thingspeak.com/forum/thingspeak-api/retrieve-my-password/ and also: https://github.com/other/thingspeak#optional-admin-setup but good results.

I need help: How can I setup admin use (or super user or site administrator) for site administration?

Many thanks!

hear from you soon!

God blesses!!!

Best regards,
Sanyaade

Hi Sanyaade,

When you follow the instructions at https://github.com/other/thingspeak#optional-admin-setup , are there any errors after you create your AdminUser? Are you running the Rails console with the same environment as the server you're running?

Hi Lee,
Many thanks for your reply and support!

1.) There were no errors adding email: and password but I was unable to add user name when I was creating the AdminUser as syntax for user: was rejected if I add it to it.

2.) Yes I was running the rails console on the same server I installed ThingSpeak.

Please help! I am very grateful for your reply!
Many thanks!

hear from you soon!

God blesses!!!

Best regards,

Hi Lee,

I will be answering my own questions here again.
The Admin login is working. I dont know what I did that made it to work and I can now login into the Admin page. what I can remebered was that:

1.) Shutdown the rails running
2.) execute the command: rails console
3.) run: AdminUser.create!(email: 'myname@email.com', password: 'My_PASSWORD', password_confirmation: 'My_PASSWORD')

4.) Exit the rails console: exit
5.) run: rails server
6.) access the server at: localhost:3000/admin
7.) enter my email as login and my password ( created in step 3 above)

I was able to access the dashboard and navigate around it.

Lee many thanks for your support.

I think I need to learn Ruby and understand how rails works if I want to get the grip of ThingSpeak. Ruby, Erlang, Go are being used now in IoT platforms. Iwont have much problems with Java, C/C++, Lua or Python.

Lastly I noticed that ThingSpeak interface was based after ActiveAdmin. I follow it from your github.com. I will need to study it as well so that I can contribute to ThingSpeak.

Once again many thanks for your support. really appreciated!

hear from you soon!

God blesses!!!
