[Mediawiki-l] Media WiKi - Newly added user database record is not recognized by MediaWik Web Interface

[Piyush Varma]

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
