For future reference, it's a command-line maintenance script; access it
through the shell.
(Remember to make sure that AdminSettings.php has valid database information
when you try to do this)
There are a whole bunch of other such scripts that you'll probably need at
some point (like upgrade.php), so you should familiarize yourself with them.

When I try to connect as
sysop
and I ask
to send me a new password, wiki tells me that sysop has no
email account.
I tried with firefox and galeon.
So what can I do ?
cheers

There really seems to be a problem with Sysop password. I tried a brand
new
installation of Mediawiki 1.9.3 on my computer,
and I cannot connect as
WikiSysop ! While searching on the web I see I am not the only one who
has
this problem.
The solution I found is :
UPDATE user SET
user_password=md5(concat(user_id,'-',md5('mynewpassword')))
where user_name ='WikiSysop';
found several times, for example at
http://troll.chemi.muni.cz/whitezone/development/charon/wiki/index.php/Help
:Contents
how do I find the user_id for WikiSysop ? How to execute this command on
Linux ? I suppose it is a mysql-command ?
Klaus
Finally I found a trick to do it using phpmyadmin:
in the table "user", I indicated an email-adress for WikiSysop and then I
could ask for a new password and it works !
