[Mediawiki-l] Question about how to get admin access

[Jan Luca]

Hi,

Run in mysql:

INSERT INTO `{$PREFIX}_user_groups` (
`ug_user` ,
`ug_group`
)
VALUES (
'{USER_ID, you get in the table `{$PREFIX}_user`}', 'sysop'
);

INSERT INTO `{$PREFIX}_user_groups` (
`ug_user` ,
`ug_group`
)
VALUES (
'{USER_ID, you get in the table `{$PREFIX}_user`}', 'bureaucrat'
);

Now you should can use the page "Special:UserRights" in your wiki.

Viele Grüße
Jan

Betreff: [Mediawiki-l] Question about how to get admin access

Hello,

I am new to MediaWiki and couldn't find the answer to my problem in the
docs. Maybe I was just blind but I hope someone here can help me.

I have to manage a MediaWiki installation that has already bin in place for
a while. 
I have to add an user with admin rights, for example to change the
navigation on the very left.
Currently there seems to be no admin user (or sysop). 
I have root access to the file system and the MySQL db. 
In the user table there is only one entry for myself and in the user_groups,
there are no entries at all.

Is there a way to add a user with all admin rights without doing a new
installation? There is a lot of content in the wiki already.

any help very welcome!

Claus
