#4 Admin?

[kriftian]

I've installed the database, the PHP-files, and are about to add an admin user when problem starts.

Step nine in the installation tells me to access http://mysite.tld/createadmin.php and follow screen, but I seem to be adding a regular user, which results in:

"Your membership must be approved by an existing member before you can have full access to this site. The existing members will be made aware that you have joined and anyone who can confirm you are a suitable person to join, based on the details you just entered, can approve you."

BUT who is to approve the admin...?

Assuming that the admin is pre-approved I tried to add another user and seek approval from the e-mail of the admin, but the admin had no permission to access the new user's profile at:

http://mysite.tld/viewuserprofile.php?UserID=2

which was presented in the e-mail sent to the admin. Hence there is noone to approve this new user either.

This confirmed what I suspected, that my admin is not an really an admin.

I assume this is also why I only get "You do not have permission to retrieve reminders of other users." when trying to configure a reminder for an event I just created with the same user.

I've rm-ed all the php-files, dropped the database, installed a new database, even under another name, and the same happens each time.

The application looks really interesting, but without an admin, and the reminders, it's useless for me :-(

Can you give me any pointers?

Thanks.

Hi Kriftian,

I had the same problem until i went into the database and edited the admin account through phpMyAdmin.

Hope that helps.

As ulethmss says, the quickest fix is to manually edit the database. Open the comendar_users table and change the user type from "guest" to "admin".

It would be useful to receive some feedback about the version of PHP you're running and the settings in php.ini. A number of other people have had the same problem, but I can't duplicate it, and hence can't fix it.
