kulls has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi,
I Just configured Catalyst from the manual. I'm getting the below error when I start the page . It seems like there is no user for the first load and trigger's this error. Can you suggest me how to fix this ? 
 
Could not find authentication realm 'default'


   89:         }
   90:     
   91:         # If a user doesn't exist, force login
   92:         if (!$c->user_exists) {
   93:             # Dump a log message to the development server debu
+g output
   94:             # $c->log->debug('***Root::auto User not found, for
+warding to /login');
   95:             # Redirect the user to the login page

    Hi kulls

    Can you show to us a little bit more of code?

    Between, this is a normal mistake with Catalyst and DBIx:Class authenticate, take a look at manual <a href="http://search.cpan.org/~flora/Catalyst-Authentication-Store-DBIx-Class-0.1300/lib/Catalyst/Authentication/Store/DBIx/Class.pm>here

    I think that you make a mistake at conf:

        __PACKAGE__->config->{authentication} =
                    {
                        default_realm => 'members',
                        realms => {
                            members => {
                                credential => {
                                    class => 'Password',
                                    password_field => 'password',
                                    password_type => 'clear'
                                },
                                store => {
                                    class => 'DBIx::Class',
                                    user_model => 'MyApp::User',
                                    role_relation => 'roles',
                                    role_field => 'rolename',
                                }
                            }
                        }
                    };

      kulls says this error only occurs on the first page load, su supposedly it works afterwards, ie its not the common no-realm-specified pitfall

        Because of that, i asked for more pieces of code ;)

    Just stumbled over this. It is vital to load ConfigLoader plugin before Authentication plugin:

    use Catalyst qw/
    ConfigLoader
    Authentication
    /;

    The configuration is not loaded if the order doesn't tell.
