No Admin account after first setup

[fishcoder]

Hi, I cloned the github-repo https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB and I used postgres to install the forum. Now I want to access the admin-dasboard, but I don't know how to configure an admin account. I searched for an answer, but I have not solved my problem yet. There is no prompt for admin credentials on setup nodebb via terminal. If I try to use the "Webinstaller", I got the error the process /Port is already in use, but I don't know how to kill the process (i am on mac and it restart the process after terminating it).

Can you please assist me?

Thank you very much!

./nodebb setup should have asked for admin username/pwd unless the database you pointed at already had a nodebb installation. Maybe try with a different database name. You can rename/move config.json and run ./nodebb setup again to test.

yeah, thank you. I've solved it with deleting the database. In the logs I found the error of skipping the creation of the admin user, because it already exists.
