Unable to access Taiga Backend

Hi, i’m currently setting up a Self Hosted Taiga server from source code.
I followed the instructions in the documentation, but at the backend verification step, i’m not able to connect to anything related to the taiga server.
Connecting to https://localhost goes to a default nginx page,
and https://localhost:8000/admin returns a “connection failed” page. Is there any way to correct this ?

Hi there,

You are trying to connect through https to an http port. Try http://localhost:8000/admin

Best!

Oh i’m sorry, http://localhost:8000/admin does not work either. What port should I use to be able to connect through https ? Do I need to enter it somewhere in the config file ?

Hi there!

Well, for HTTPS you need a certificate, and most of the time a certificate requires a proper domain name as well, not localhost. In any case, that would be configured from your reverse proxy.

Do you have any logs for the taiga-back service?

Best!

Hello Charlie,

I managed to access to the django admin page http://X.X.X.X:8000/admin/
Now the problem I have is that when I try to log in, I get an error just like this person : Cannot login to admin page after install

The solution is linked to the fact that the person is using docker, but I am not. How can I correct this ?

Thanks

It’s likely you don’t have superuser privileges. If you don’t have access to the docker instance then the person that does will have to do that for you.

After logging into the docker taiga backend this will work.

from django.contrib.auth.models import User

user = User.objects.get(username="your_username")
user.is_staff = True
user.is_superuser = True
user.save()
