You have to enable it. Open up your config.php and find this:


// ****** USERS WITH QUERY RUNNING PERMISSIONS ******
// The users specified here will be allowed to run queries from the control panel.
// See the above entries for more information on the format.
// Please note that the ability to run queries is quite powerful. You may wish
// to remove all user IDs from this list for security reasons.
$canrunqueries = '';


Add whatever your userid number is to this above i.e. $canrunqueries = '1';

Then you will be able to run queries.
