I should add that I am running nodeJs on a cloud9 server.

I had a similar issue though not on C9.io...

I was getting npm ERR! Unknown error while authenticating : -/user/org.couchdb.user:<username>

Turns out that my username was already taken but the error message wasn't helpful. I ended up going to the npm website and signing up there - with a now modified username - and then used the npm login command from terminal to complete the challenge.

Hope that helps someone.

caal-15 · 2016-02-12T17:09:20Z

@huw remember that it should be a test environment and you shouldn't have
to create a Real npm account.

O_O oh... err... oops. Time to backtrack.

rileygelwicks · 2016-02-21T04:56:54Z

I had the same error because the user I was creating was the same name as my logged in user on my machine. Once I used a different name it worked.

how to resolve this? I added entirely new user with new username and password and new email but exactly same error!

legend911 · 2016-03-13T02:30:49Z

I have been getting that same error for weeks now... I don't know what to do. I am also on Cloud 9. Do they just have a problem?

what can be the problem? I have tried everything including starting over again on how-to-npm with a completely new user no go.

legend911 · 2016-03-17T12:28:33Z

I solved this by starting a new cloud9 workspace for node.js and comparing things. It turned out that my package.json file had some major changes in it after doing one of the npm solutions.

You can also just pull your repository of work into a new cloud9 workspace and delete your old package.json file.

thank you @legend911 I will create a new workspace again and try out. I will share the outcome here once done :)

soulchainer · 2016-03-20T01:00:44Z

Hi. I just tried this, like part of Free Code Camp path and, you now where the problem is here?

Well... I'm sorry to say this, but the problem is that this part

Because this is just a tutorial adventure, remember, we're not
actually creating an account anywhere.

Is, well... not true.

At least it seems that way.
I was getting errors because, well, I was using a username already created in the npm registry (my own nick, that I had already registered). With a non registered name, it passed.
Later, I check the registry and here it was, my «not
actually created account anywhere» created.

And when you verify that pass with how-to-npm, the tutorial says to you that:

Congratulations, pineapplesama!
You are the proud owner of an imaginary new npm account!

Well: it doesn't seems pretty much imaginary to me, you know? https://www.npmjs.com/~pineapplesama
Feels pretty real.

If the text of this 03 really doesn't pretend to mislead people into creating real accounts, I think it's failing on it. Maybe I'm wrong, but this is the feeling I have right now.

celogeek · 2016-03-27T10:02:59Z

When you check the configuration, the repository is the default.
But if you create the package.json, then the .npmrc is take in account.

So to make it work, you need to switch the process 03 Start a Project and 02 Login.

First, create a project, then your npmrc will be used properly !

maddymaster · 2016-03-27T10:14:37Z

This worked, great find. Thank you so much.

ManBearPigg · 2016-04-02T04:47:47Z

If you came here from FreeCodeCamp and are getting this error on Cloud9, please see the solution posted by celogeek
