SID-01174: "The Administrator has disabled new user registration. "

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	5.0.1	Perl version:	Perl 5.8.8
Category:	CategoryAuthentication	Server OS:	RHEL5	Last update:	14 years ago

For the life of me I can't figure out why im getting this in response to new user registrations.

In lib/LocalSite.cfg I have:

$TWiki::cfg{Register}{EnableNewUserRegistration} = 1;

I have followed the authentication instructions for template login and they were already set to the proper settings for template login after out of the box installation.

Why then when I register a new user does it tell me the administrator has disabled registration? Very frustrating.

Discussion and Answer

Are you using mod_perl or FastCGI? If so, don't forget to restart the webserver to make your changes active.

Also make sure that twiki/data/.htpasswd is writable by your webserver user. Same for the data directory.
