Problem registering first user - ...person named openid could not be found...

hmm... that doesn't work...

Database was well created.... but still have the same problem. Could it be another .htaccess file? (Just cleaned that off the config-folder too but without effect) Could it be a safe mode problem? (Not really sure if safe mode is off)

thanks for your help, rgds, DeGon

well I have exactly the same problem, impossible to login or register the first user too.

same error but on line 370

would need som help too, rgds, Jean Claude

Hi there

I can report that I am getting the same problem on a clean install on OMB.

Cannot register first user with the error: "Sorry, the person named openid could not be found."

thanks for reporting on this, a person on the forum had reported resolving this by removing the top-level .htaccess file, so I didn't realize it's still a problem. I'm investigating now and will try to replicate the problem

I applied a ton of fixes in a new release tonight, but I don't think I fixed this one yet. Please let me know if you have a chance to try it.

Also, if you could copy the URL from the location bar when the error appears, that would be a big help.

Thanks!

Hi Brian

The new version defaults to P2 theme?

I deleted the whole directory and dropped and recreated the mysql database but I'm still getting the same error.

Below are the details.

URL of page I'm at when signing in: http://www.kwekie.net/tweetneth/...

Line of error: Fatal error in line 370 of file /srv/http/tweetneth/app/omb/plugins/omb.php

Location bar: http://www.xxxxxx.net/omb/?openi...,email,fullname&

Thanks again - eskay

thanks a lot for sending the URL! I can fix that.

if you get a chance could you look at the value of openid_version in your config.yml?

it will be 1 or 2

thanks a lot for your help!

Are you using your e-mail address to create an E-Cred OpenID?

or are you using some other OpenID?

it looks like you are trying to use your OMB site URL as an OpenID and it is not one???

I noticed in the URL you sent me, that your openid.identity is set to: http://www.xxxxxx.net/omb

whereas it should be set to "e-cred" or some other OpenID

also, there is a Password mode for OMB, which avoids the OpenID hassle. just change your config.yml authentication setting from "email" to "password"

thanks

just curious whether you also started with an empty/blank database when you did a clean install?

thanks for the detailed report. also, are you on a Windows server? and using MySQL?

what happens if you try to register a user with E-Cred or a different OpenID?

you could try setting openid_version to 2 just for yucks, it uses different OpenID library

:-)

thanks a lot

Hi Brian

I used phpMyID to host my own ID. I am able to log in and have tested it successfully via: http://www.openidenabled.com/res...

Anyway, I changed openid_version from 1 to 2 and am getting a different error now:

OpenID server not found at www.xxxxxx.net/id/tweetneth

Fatal error in line 149 of file /srv/http/tweetneth/app/omb/plugins/security.php

Sorry, I replaced my domain with xxxxxx for privacy, but if you want I can email you to proper details?

In the meantime I have changed the option to password and that's working like a charm.

Thanks - eskay

@Brian:

• yes, absolutely clean install, new db, newest version, password mode

• its a shared linux host (safe mode = ON)

• using mysql

• emptied .htaccess in /app/config/ (can't delete it, just overwritten with an empty one)

hi,

i do have the "white page" problem too. i wonder is there any solution to this so far ?

system: debian 4.0, php 4.4.4, mysql 5.0.32, apache 2.2.3

i have the problem after a new install with an empty database with authentication set to email and password.

also noticed curl was not on the list of requirements, would be nice to have complete documentation available.

regards Jan

ok I'm back on trying to figure this out. sorry for the wait. I see that Jan has tried the password solution. hmmm. OK, here's something to test:

please try editing your /db/boot.php file and add this at the bottom of the file

[before] the "response = new View()" line

paste these three lines BEFORE that line

ini_set('display_errors','1'); ini_set('display_startup_errors','1'); error_reporting (E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE );

please let me know what you see! thanks -brian

if anyone is having trouble uploading a photo for the first user, please try changing the upload mode. create a folder called /uploads and then in config.yml change the "collection_cache" setting for identities from "cache" to "uploads"

Brian

Just catching up...I experienced the white screen on a new install and couldn't upload a photo for first user. Created another user, got the white screen after uploading an image, but managed to get back to the homepage signed in as the second user. Now, I can't log out of the site for some reason. :)

Cheers

Brian

Forgot to mention I changed to password mode for the second user. I find the OpenID process a barrier to entry, frankly.

Thx

i'm trying to replicate this, maybe it's a PHP4 issue

(Scot) yes I agree about OpenID, i've been plotting a redesign and will pull the trigger on it soon

ok I just got a white screen

the white-page problem was caused by a line-break in the new WordPress theme. the line break was preventing the redirect that takes you to the upload-your-avatar page. i'll upload a new version later tonight.
