Hi Rob,
The user's ID field has been automatically filled in with an incremental
numerical value for all those that we imported via a our query.
The users that were created via the Wiki interface still work fine.
A column that we did not add any data to is: user_token , which looks like
MW creates for other users.
We also added 051219 to the user_touch column field for every user we
created, so maybe that is also a problem.
If none of these columns matter....then, are there any other dependencies
that we need to be aware of so that MW knows that a users is created or not?
thanks,
Isaac

Hmm. I could understand how the password wouldn't be accepted
(MediaWiki uses more than a straight MD5 of the text for its hash) but
not how the user wouldn't be found.
The user's ID field's been filled in with a value? Other users can be found?

Hi,
I added several rows to the user table. The following fields were
populated:
user_name, user_password, user_newpassword, user_real_name, and
user_email.
When I try to log in MediaWiki using one of the user names, I receive the
message:
There is no user by the name "Pritchie". Check your spelling, or use the
form below to create a new user account.
But the "Pritchie" (user_name column value) exists in the user table.
What should I do please?
Thank you,
Piyush
