I created a user that I now want to remove. The FAQ says I cannot delete a user (why?) but I can block the user. So, I tried to block the user and got this error:
Query failed: ERROR: invalid input syntax for type cidr
I entered a username instead of an ip address to block. The username was used in place of the ip address and the php code tried to put the username into the ipb_address field of the ipblocks table which, is of type cidr. So, the insert fails. Any ideas on fixing this? I did not see a bug for this in bugzilla. It is a postgresql backend, if that makes a difference.
Looks like the postgres schema is wrong, so it won't work.
I found the user record in the mwuser table. Is it possible to delete this record without causing problems elsewhere in the application?
Maybe, maybe not. Try it and see.
