Create a new user, manually

It’s going to be more helpful if you would describe in more detail exactly what isn’t working for you when you’re trying to create a user.
Are you using the standard User class? If so, you can look at the create_user helper method in the docs to see one way of doing it.
If you’re using a custom user object, we’ll probably need to see that Model along with the view you’re using to create the user.
