Hi,
you are faster:-) I have exact the same problem.
Hi,
My user registration screen is broken and returns a -1 error whenever I try to
register a new user.
It is on my own xwiki server, not on the farm. I've tried enabling the
superadmin user, editing, and re-saving the RegisterNewUser document but I
still get the same problem.
I have two wikis running on this server, with 'virtual' switched on in
xwiki.cfg; the registration works fine in the default wiki but not in the new
one I have created.
I'm an utter newbie to xwiki so it's possible I'm missing something obvious...
if someone could post step-by-step instructions as to what is normally done to
solve this problem, I'd be grateful.
Many thanks
Jonathan Essex.

Frank,
Are you sure you have the same problem? By this I mean:
1. Are you also not on the wiki farm?
2. Have you also already tried saving RegisterNewUser with a user with
programming rights? (if you're on the farm you'll have to ask an admin
to do it for you).
Jonathan,
I guess you have already tried reverting RegisterNewUser to its
original content, i.e. you are not using a modified registration
script?
Is there anything in your xwiki.log that could provide any clues? I
have had problems creating users in the past when I was using a
corrupt db image; the log was full of SQL exceptions.
Regards,
Robin

AFAIK I've not actually changed the RegisterNewUser document. I've
taken a machete to some of the other templates as part of a radical
GUI redesign, but I left these alone. May try cut-and-paste from the
working site.
Nothing tremendously suspicious in the log - certainly no SQL
exceptions.
Have bumped up the log level for XWikiRightServiceImpl to debug in
order to try and figure out what is happening; the two instances seem
to behave completely differently; for example, the secondary xwiki
checks for a specific 'register' access right (which is denied):
18:22:00,908 INFO http-8080-Processor23 http://
schoolmaze.iquality.co.uk:8080/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/RegisterNewUser?
template=XWiki.XWikiUserTemplate®ister=1&password=%
24password®ister_first_name=aaa®ister_last_name=bbb&xwikiname=AaaB
bb®ister_email=aaa®ister_password=aaa®ister2_password=aaa®is
ter_company=®ister_city=®ister_country=®ister_blog=®ister_bl
ogfeed=®ister_comment= XWikiRightServiceImpl:logDeny:52 - Access
has been denied for
(XWiki.XWikiGuest,XWiki.XWikiPreferences,register): register level
(no right found)
Whereas the version that actually works never seems to even ask for
this access right.
Confused.

Yes, I am not on the farm. I'm running xwiki on two different machines
and on one machine there are two virtual wikis. And on the second wiki
I have exact the same problem.
2. Have you also already tried saving RegisterNewUser

Yes, I did it, with no effect.
I will check anything in the next days and will give here in the list

It's either a bug or something counterintuitive with the rights setup
for virtual wikis.
As far as I can see, on the secondary wiki the createUser API call
generates a request for the register right on XWiki.XWikiPreferences
on behalf of user XWiki.XWikiGuest, which gets denied.
On the main wiki, I see a request for the programming right on
XWiki.RegisterNewUser on behalf of XWiki.Admin (even though I really
don't think I'm logged in as XWiki.Admin) which is granted at 'master
admin level'. Don't see how this could happen, but it's there in the
log. Possibly an error on my part, as swiching debug on for
XWikiRightServiceImpl really creates a __storm__ of log entries.
Ah well, will keep looking at it. But thought I'd report what I've
found so far in case someone else want to take a look.

Ha! Happy days are here again...
The solution is to log in to the secondary xwiki server as the
administrator from the PRIMARY wiki, then open the RegisterNewUser
document and save it.
You do this by typing 'xwiki:XWiki.Admin' in the username field.
The reason being that the magic 'programming rights' can only be
applied to users of the primary wiki. So even logging n as
'superadmin' to the secondary DB does not do the trick.
Maybe this should have been obvious. But it took me a whole day of
walking through the source code to work it out. (can't resist a small
snipe at the xwiki developers here: It's a great program, guys, but
you are allowed to write comments that are longer than one line, you
know...)
Thanks to all,
Jon
