Felicitations, Fellow Primates! I'm working through the web2py manual and, having reached the built-in wiki section and following the instructions, after the built-in wiki is created (logged in as admin, of course otherwise we couldn't create it to begin with), we navigate to the index for the wikidemo page and I am presented with a completely unexpected login request - however, you can't login. And, when you visit the appadmin for the wiki to check on the db contents, there are no users or groups. This certainly explains why I can't login.
However, the book is WAY wrong on what is allegedly supposed to happen at this point: It mentions nothing about the login page, nor the fact that you'll have to create the user and the group yourself before you can proceed. It does, however, state that upon wiki creation, if you are logged in as admin, that a group will be automagically created called wiki-editor, and that you will be added to that group. None of that appears to be true. The book mentions that the built-in wiki is still experimental and "small changes" are still possible. Yet, these are not small changes - they are quite huge.... So............ I can't get into the wikidemo without making my own users and groups - and then once I'm in, according to the book I am expected to "choose a slug" (speaking as if, upon creation the wikidemo will somehow have articles already in production within it....?), and proceed from there learning something about MARKMIN wiki syntax. However, I can't proceed per se. I'll certainly read the section anyway and try to get something useful out of it, but it's a total bummer that in a 5th edition there is something this wrong with a book that is only about 2 months old, and which I only received in the mail yesterday. Then again, if I have somehow totally farked up the reading, comprehension and/or execution of this section of the book, I do indeed crave correction, so please help a n00b out here.
