Does your db password contains special chars such as @#\ etc or is empty?

tired ermine Sep 15, 2023, 4:26 PM

#

Do you have a .env file?

#

Or set database credentials

sleek owl I think yes

It shouldn't

sleek owl Sep 15, 2023, 4:29 PM

#

Should I change my .env.template filename?

static gate Sep 15, 2023, 4:29 PM

#

Yes definitely

sleek owl Sep 15, 2023, 4:30 PM

#

static gate Sep 15, 2023, 4:30 PM

#

And remove special chars from your pass as well

sleek owl Sep 15, 2023, 4:34 PM

#

Okay this is my password rn. And it's not working

#

But the .env is in the storefront, I dont understand that

static gate Sep 15, 2023, 4:35 PM

#

We are talking about your server

sleek owl Sep 15, 2023, 4:35 PM

#

Yeah, but I dont have .env in backend

static gate Sep 15, 2023, 4:36 PM

#

Exactly

#

So you need one to set up your medusa backend

sleek owl Sep 15, 2023, 4:36 PM

#

Okay, what template I need?

static gate Sep 15, 2023, 4:36 PM

#

You can look at your medusa config and populate you .env file

sleek owl Sep 15, 2023, 4:37 PM

#

#

static gate Sep 15, 2023, 4:37 PM

#

In your medusa config you will find the postgres url and the env it is coming from. You can also look the getting started in the doc

I cant find the docs for this...

#

Im here - https://docs.medusajs.com/admin/configuration

Admin Custom Configuration | Medusa

In this document, you'll learn about the different ways you can configure the admin dashboard for your custom use cases.

It's not related specifically to admin. I would back up and go over this guide: https://docs.medusajs.com/development/backend/install

Install Medusa Backend | Medusa

This quickstart guide will help you set up a Medusa backend in three steps.

#

The 3rd part, Configurations, talks about environment variables

sleek owl Sep 15, 2023, 4:44 PM

#

Lets try with this

#

Perfect, solved

west steppe Sep 15, 2023, 4:45 PM

#

Please read through the full guide.

sleek owl Sep 15, 2023, 4:45 PM

#

But this it whas happened

sleek owl Sep 15, 2023, 4:45 PM

#

west steppe Please read through the full guide.

Sorry, I installed medusajs trought nextjs templates

west steppe Sep 15, 2023, 4:45 PM

#

That documentation is frequently and painstakingly updated with answers to all of the most common onboarding questions.

#

I would strongly suggest using the guide to install to a local development environment first. When you are ready to deploy to prod, you can use one of those other services.

sleek owl Sep 15, 2023, 4:50 PM

#

Okay thank you

#

But I have a problem now!

#

When i run the dev server, it's return me to login, not to register 😬

west steppe Sep 15, 2023, 4:52 PM

#

sleek owl Sep 15, 2023, 4:56 PM

#

Should I run this before dev then?

static gate Sep 15, 2023, 4:57 PM

#

You run it once after your migrations and thats it
