Hi.
This morning installed Mattermost in one VPS. with a fqdn subdomain.
Work fine. But after seeing some problems (I’ve installed the server in a GitLab server and had too many issues because GitLab has a Nginx owned) I’ve decided to install it in another VPS.
- New server
- New database (mysql)
- New installation
Same process, check initial start
sudo -u mattermost ./bin/mattermost
sudo -u mattermost ./bin/mattermost

Also verify with curl after start using systemctl. I see some issues but i think is not question for this check.
At this moment, disable firewall for tests.
curl http://localhost:8065

When I try to access to http://IP:8065/ I can’t create a user. Now, url shows me to log in instead create user page.
I don’t understand why ask me for credentials in an installation from scratch.
Well, I looking for any solution and get doc in Command Line Tools
bin/mattermost user create --email user@example.com --username userexample --password Password1
Well I got to /opt/mattermost dir of installatrion and try
abkrim@chat:/opt/mattermost/bin$ sudo -u mattermost ./mmctl user create --email abdelkarim.mateos@castris.com --username abkrim --password LZEkRjVjRdffopdfR6ad --system-admin
Error: cannot read user credentials, maybe you need to use login first: stat /home/mattermost/.config/mmctl/config: no such file or directory
Any idea or help?
