The Django sites I've authored previously always used the url /admin/ to get to admin.site.root. It seems that osqa has hijacked the /admin/ url for the site configuration, and the django admin is at /nimda/ instead.

That's fine, but it's not accepting the username and password that I first used when I created the site. Is there some kind of back-door password? Or should I have created a new user when I migrated the forum (contrary to the instructions for porting to Dreamhost)?

I have same issue. (bluehost server)

Well, we really discourage people to use the django admin with OSQA. Our data is a bit sensitive to manual changes :-)

But there is a slightly incompatibility with the way OSQA and the django admin handles users. It's a simple fix, and it will be taken care soon :-)

EDIT

You can set up a password latter even if you use openid, just get into your profile and click in authentication settings.

The difference between "our" user and the django user is none, is just that we carry the extended user in the requests instead of the plain user, and apparently the admin app doesn't like that, and I don't know why, since one is a subclass of the other.

I can understand that. I just wanted the opportunity to test my site out a bit before I go live. It would be nice to know what I can do with it first in case something goes wrong.

Could you please document some of the sensitivities? Or at least outline in what cases they might occur?

Because it's better to know this in advance than to silently shoot yourself in the foot and not know for a while.

Also, one of the questions you didn't answer is what username/password to use? Especially if the first user you create on OSQA (the admin) is an openid login?

Edited my answer.

Hernani, I'm still confused about what username/password to use? Especially if the first user you create on OSQA (the admin) is an openid login? Could you please advise?

Sorry, I said I edited my question but I did not save the changes :-P
