Cannot read property 'bcrypt' of undefined with Meteor

Question

I am following the Basic Tutorial to use TurkServer, but I get an error from the beginning.

The error I get when I run: meteor --settings settings.json

My settings file:

{
  "turkserver": {
    "adminPassword": "mmaatouq95",
    "experiment": {
      "limit": {
      }
    },
    "mturk": {
      "accessKeyId": "AKIAJDDHTM3IRYMWUX7Q",
      "secretAccessKey": "eeTud7Gml3Yz6XD9gWLUZzsJokoie2rEq"
    }
  }
}

It seems general problem with Meteor, not with TurkServer (the project files https://www.dropbox.com/s/ppgbuwv4k3imbt5/interactiveEstimation.zip):

Answer 1

When examining your project, your user does not contain a bcrypt entry.

This indicates that it was not created properly and this leads to the described error.

If you delete the user from the meteor mongo database console and restart the server, the user should be created properly and the issue should be resolved.
