7 years ago Hi @mjameswh, good point. The installation of the interface is documented at: https://statusengine.org/interface.php#how-to-setup The users table gets created at point 4:
Create MySQL databases Statusengine:
mysql -u root -p < sql/statusengine.sql
The default password is at the end of the documentation:
Navigate to http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/statusengine with your favorite browser Username: admin Password: admin
Preview: This behavior will change, as soon as Statusengine 3 with the new Interface is released. With Statusengine 3 the default user is gone, and you need to create a user first, using the new CLI tools: bin/Console.php users add --username=admin --password=admin Run bin/Console.php users --help to get more information. You can also run the command without --username and --password to keep your password private and hidden from history.
At the moment I am write the new documentation, and rum some field tests with Statusengine 3. Take a look at https://statusengine.org/se3/ for news :)

Following the documented installation procedure leads to statusengine's PHP interface complaining about non-existence of MySQL table "users". Structure of that table can be found in the source code (https://github.com/nook24/statusengine/blob/master/sql/statusengine.sql), but that file is not mentioned anywhere in documentation.
A closely related issue is that this file create a default admin user, with a hardcoded password hash, yet the actual password seems not to be documented anywhere. It seems that either the default password should be documented and users be advised to immediately change that default password, or the documentation should explain how to create the initial user (which might be difficult given that MySQL doesn't support blowfish encryption).
