Create admin user manually

Post by adam2804 »

Hello,

I have been having problems with the installation of my site. Firstly it wouldn't create the tables (That's ok, I created the tables manually). Now the problem is creating an admin user so that I can login to the backend. Can someone please tell me what tables I have to edit to be able to do this, and what values I need to change?

Thank you in advance.

Are you shure ? by hand ? Hmmmm ... best thing might be to redo the complete install and remark the "CREATE ADMIN" ....

Well it won't create an admin user for me, it just gives the message saying 'Check your details'

So I just thought doing it manually would be the easiest way round it?

I can't think what would be causing the issue?

you must chmod your files before starting the setup!

Thanks for the input guys. It was actually down to the user for the database that I was using not having the proper permissions!
