Jim,
You're brilliant. That was the solution. I went immedialtely into MySQL and found the extra space.
To enlighten you a bit as to why this happened, the server is mine, I also have a webhosting company, I installed installatron which allows you to install a whole range of scripts. I guess they left out the WikiSysop with the install script and I had to create the admin myself. Added my own name and from there on it went wrong.
I also gave the user you saw the sysop rights directly in the database since he registered after I posted this problem so I assumed it was from someone on this list.

Here's what I see in your user's list:
Henny (Sysop , bureaucrat )
Note the extra space after "Sysop" for Henny. I suspect that has something to do with Henny not being able to perform Sysop functions. How did Henny get to be a Sysop? And what happened to WikiSysop, the user created by default when installing Mediawiki? There is another user in the list with Sysop priviledges that look normal. Can you login as that user?

When I installed it, I created only one account. The other two are users.
I am willing to grant anyone who is willing to dive into it, all the necessary information to get into the system and solve the problem.

Do you have another Sysop account you can login as? (WikiSysop?) If so try logging in as that user and then use the "User rights
management"
page (you can find a link to it on the special pages) to remove Sysop and Bureaucrat rights from the user "Henny", and then assign them
again.
BTW, how did you assign Henny the Sysop rights in the first place?

If you do not see a "protect" or "delete" tab on regular pages, like the Main Page, then you are not a Sysop.
Go to the Special pages and select the "User list" and see if your username has "(Bureaucrat, Sysop)" next to it.
Yes it has, I thought I wrote that in the first message,
Here we go again
Username:Henny User ID:1 Member of groups:Users, Autoconfirmed users, Sysop , bureaucrat (User group rights)
According to that page I AM the sysop and bureacrat. Nevertheless I can't do anything,
If not then you are definitely not a Sysop. Log in as someone who has that by their username and they should see "protect" and "delete" tabs on the Main Page showing that they are indeed a Sysop. They can use the User
rights
management link on the Special pages to give you Bureaucrat and Sysop
priviledge.
A for editing Special pages, they cannot be edited. They are system generated so you will not see an edit tab on those pages.
According to the MediaWiki I could edit the monobook ccs

With normal pages I can see Page Discussion Edit History Move Watch If I edit those pages, no problem, but with the special pages, I don't see those buttons I just see Message Discussion View source Watch

When you are a sysop, do you see the "delete, "move" and "protect"
tabs
at the top of a page? If so then the system knows you are a sysop. Does one tab say "protect" or "unprotect"?
What happens when you try to edit. You hit the edit button and what happens?
