07. Setting up user accounts - findsorguk/findsorguk GitHub Wiki

After finishing the installation, you will now need to create a new user and set them up as admin. Don't use standard usernames such as admin or administrator! Firstly you will need to have set up the recaptcha keys in webservices.ini - go to the recaptcha site and get your keys. Then do:

sudo nano app/config/webservices.ini 

Add the relevant keys and away you go.

Go to http://hostname/users/account/register and fill in the boxes as required.

Once you have done this, you will need to change the user to administrator. You can either do this via the command line with mysql or via phpmyadmin (assuming you are the first user!)

UPDATE users SET role = 'admin', valid = 1, activationKey = NULL WHERE id = 1;

Twitter is a component of the system so we need to set that up, too.
