Greetings.
I've followed the instructions at:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Preventing_Access
... which prevents a new user from creating an account
but which should still allow me as admin to create a
new account, but I just can't make it work.
Here are the instructions that I've been following from
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Preventing_Access
- -
In order to prevent new user registrations, the following line could be
added to the LocalSettings.php file:
$wgWhitelistAccount = array ( "sysop" => 1, "developer" => 1 );
Note: New users will still be able to be created by sysops, in the
following manner:
Go to [[Special:Userlogin]], when logged in as a sysop.
Enter a username and an email address, and click the "by email" button.
The account will be created with a random password which is then emailed
to the given address.

However, when I do all this I just get a note in red saying:
"You have not specified a valid user name."
What does this mean, please?
I would greatly appreciate any help or suggestions regarding this
problem.
Many thanks.
Best Wishes,
PRODOS
