Unable to create organization and space in PCF using CLI


I have created the PCF account in run.pivotal.io platform but not able to create org and space in UI as PCF is not allowing new account and showing the message "We will no longer be accepting any new PWS account sign-ups after September 17, 2020" I tried creating the org and space from CLI(admin mode) but no luck.

ErrorMessage:

Creating org NP as ---@gmail.com... You are not authorized to perform the requested action FAILED.

while creating the user below are error logs:

"C:\Users\s\git\pcf-crash-course-with-spring-boot>cf create-user ------@gmail.com ss

Creating user --------@gmail.com...

Error creating user -----------@gmail.com.

Solution

  • You were never allowed to create new orgs on PWS using the cf cli. You were only ever allowed to create them through the Console. This is because of additional stipulations around requiring payment options to be set up for orgs & managing free trials.

    That is irrelevant now though because PWS has been sunset. Here are the critical dates for the shutdown:

    For reference see this article:

    While the infrastructure for PWS still exists, it's very much closed to the public. That is why you cannot use the service anymore. Sorry.

    If you are looking for migration options, I would encourage you to look at the Cloud Foundry Organization's List of Certified Providers. This list has other public providers you can use and because all of these platforms are certified compatible with Cloud Foundry, you should be able to use continue your existing tooling and configuration files to deploy your apps there.
