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
