Open edX ecommerce URL not working

Tutor
1

Hi
After installing tutor using a precompile binary, I have enabled ecommerce plugin using tutor plugins enable discovery ecommerce.
According to the tutor plugins list both plugins are enabled but when I try to go to http://ecommerce.local.overhang.io/ it gets redirected to the dashboard page.
the output of the tutor local logs -f --tail=10 command is:

Are there any other configurations that I’m missing?

Did you run tutor local quickstart?

3

Yes. According to https://pypi.org/project/tutor-ecommerce/ I ran tutor local quickstart after enabling the plugins.
Related docker containers are also running. Here is the output of the docker ps command:

Are you getting redirected to the dashboard page because you are logged-in to the LMS with a non-staff user?

5

Actually I’m logged in as admin user.
Even when I’m not logged-in, I get redirected to login page.

6

This is surprising. How did you create the admin user? Did you modify any configuration variable?

7

using the official document’s method:
tutor local createuser --staff --superuser yourusername user@email.com

No. I have followed the standard installation procedure and then enabled xqueue, discovery and ecommerce plugins.

8

OK, good news is that I managed to reproduce the issue on a new installation. I guess I didn’t detect it earlier because I always create a super user in ecommerce directly. I’ll be able to investigate this.

9

I finally remembered something: this is not a bug, it’s actually a feature :sweat_smile: Users who are staff/superusers on the LMS do not necessarily have the same privileges in Ecommerce. You need to explicitly grant superuser/staff privileges with the createsuperuser command, as indicated in the README.

To grant staff+superuser access to an existing user, run:

tutor local run ecommerce ./manage.py shell -c "from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model; get_user_model().objects.filter(email='USER@EMAIL.COM').update(is_staff=True, is_superuser=True)"

I’ll add this information to the Readme.

After running the above command, I can’t access the LMS anymore. The nginx container is stuck in restarting state:
a4318065de88 nginx:1.13 "nginx -g 'daemon of…" 2 days ago Restarting (1) 54 seconds ago tutor_local_nginx_1

11

What are the logs from the nginx container? When in doubt, you can simply stop and start the platform:

tutor local stop
tutor local start
12

Ok my problem with nginx is solved by restarting the platform (thank you for the hint), but I still have the same problem with the url even after granting staff+superuser access to the existing user :
When I try to navigate to http://ecommerce.local.overhang.io/, when logged in I get redirected to Open edX dashboard and I get redirected to sign in page when the user is not logged in.

Please take a look at the updated instructions: https://github.com/overhangio/tutor-ecommerce/#creating-a-user
Start at “To re-use an existing LMS user…”.

Thank you very much. Problem solved.
Turns out I had forgot to replace 'USER@EMAIL.COM' with the admin user’s email address.
