Request new user account not working

[Alvin Martin]

I just installed a copy of pgv-4.2.2, and the (Request new user account) link seems to not work, it just loads the same login page over again…  Tried both Chrome and Firefox… the same.  Some other links also have this kind of behaver.

What do you think this could be

It certainly normally works OK.

Possibly an error in the URL for your site in the configuration settings (config.php). Can you show us what they are (without including any passwords etc)?

I think I can see the problem, having now visited your site. You don't have any GEDCOM file yet, so there is nothing to register against. You need to create or upload one first.

Log in with the admin account you created during the install process and do that first.

I see.  So after some search on how to get started… It looks like I need a .ged file.  I can find no way to create a .ged with pgv, I guess to get started you need to have a ged file already?  or make one in another program?

I could fine nothing in the wiki..

Please let me know?  Thanks

From the manage gedcoms page, there is an option for "create new gedcom"

Didn't look at SEARCH?  "Create Gedcom"
