Did you get any error messages at all during installation? MediaWiki's installer creates a bureaucrat user by default. However, you can sort it out. First check the user table to be sure there really isn't an account.

If there is, set it's email address to yours, and use the "lost password" feature.

If there isn't, create a new account from within the software, then run the query INSERT INTO user_groups ( ug_user, ug_group ) VALUES ( 1, "sysop", 1, "bureaucrat" );

This should sort it out.

Hi there, I managed to set up a wiki, but somehow the Sysop didn't make it in the user list, it is completely empty. Does anyone know how this is possible, or is it common behavior? Should I enter it through the MySql database? I did however fill in the name and password while installing...
