Creating an admin user in production on Spree

Question

I deployed my Spree app to a server. Locally I can login as an admin and change things, but on the server this password and account does not work. When I go to /admin I get the message authorization failure.

I did already run bundle exec rake spree_auth:admin:create and bundle exec rake db:migrate but this does not work. Furthermore, I can also login with my e-mailaddress and password I got from the hosting company, but I can not go to the admin page.

Does anyone know how I create an admin user?

Deploying Spree doesn't (and shouldn't) copy your database from development to production.

So your development admin user doesn't exist on the production database.

SSH into your production server and try:

rake spree_auth:admin:create

Update:

Do this in /data/spree/current

Thanks. I will try that this evening. In which folder on the server should I run this command? Public, shared, or another one? – user2609980 Oct 07 '13 at 05:08
There it says: "rake aborted! database configuration does not specify adapter" – user2609980 Oct 07 '13 at 20:04
Doing: RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake db:migrate helped. – user2609980 Oct 07 '13 at 21:00
Glad you figured it out. – manishie Oct 07 '13 at 21:15
in production `rake spree_auth:admin:create` return error but `RAILS_ENV=production rake spree_auth:admin:create` works perfect – inye Jan 26 '16 at 16:30

You can run the DB seeds, which include the admin user:

RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake db:seed

If you also want to add sample data, you can run:

RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake spree_sample:load
