Using Ubuntu Linux Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS I installed nuxeo-dm using synaptic. This also installed Postgres.

During the configuration screens, I saw a password for the postgres database user which I did not know (it was blanked out), so I changed the password for the nuxeodm user.

I could then access the webpage http://localhost:8080

But I could not login using the Administrator/Administrator name/password.

Investigating with the help of http://forum.nuxeo.com/t/4433/ I saw that Nuxeo was failing to connect to the Postgres database.

Trying

psql -h localhost -p 5433 -U nuxeodm -W nuxeodm

manually, I could login using the ORIGINAL nuxeodm password, but not with the new password that I had set. Looking in /etc/nuxeo-dm/nuxeo.conf I saw

nuxeo.db.password={original password}

nuxeo.db.password={original password}

nuxeo.db.password={new password}

ie there were two uncommented nuxeo.db.password lines. It seems as tho the postgres database was set up to use the original password, but Nuxeo was trying to connect using the new password.

I got it working by reinstalling Nuxeo and postgres.

So looks like there is something wrong about the configuration screens if you try to use them to change the nuxeodm database user's password.
