Notification issues

[K-fab]

okay, that's the direction I was thinking.
I know the original user's info, so I'll copy what's there and add myself in.

I'll let this thread know how it goes in a few...

Okay, I need help.

This is part of the config file:
// ****** MASTER DATABASE USERNAME & PASSWORD ******
// This is the username and password you use to access MySQL.
// These must be obtained through your webhost.
$config['MasterServer']['username'] = 'amergin_****';
$config['MasterServer']['password'] = '****';

and this is all I find regarding Super Administrator:
// ****** SUPER ADMINISTRATORS ******
// The users specified below will have permission to access the administrator permissions
// page, which controls the permissions of other administrators
$config['SpecialUsers']['superadministrators'] = '1,1939,75406';

What do I need to do to make me a Super Admin?

You need to put your userID in this line, between the single quotation marks, separated by commas from the other userIDs. I hope you know who those other users are. If not, they need to be removed.

$config['SpecialUsers']['superadministrators'] = '1,1939,75406';

got it! I was able to cross ref the first two, not sure about the third. I am the second one.

So I'm a superadmin - but it's not playing nice...

I was able to log into the forum with the original owner/developer's info and even his wasn't allowed to go mod the SQL.

Did you also add your userID to the

$config['SpecialUsers']['canrunqueries'] = '1';

line in the config.php file?

I'll have to look

That' one's empty. I'll go put the two id numbers in it and upload a bit later.

Thank you.

I'm getting an understanding of the structure of the config file - like I said, learning and fortunately capable of it.

Well, that didn't change a thing.

Maybe I'm not in the right directory?

public_html/forum/includes/config.php was the file I played with (and fortunately nothing seems to have gone boom)

So, does anyone have any thoughts on my config.php file mods? I did the changes like I was told, but I'm wondering if it's in the correct directory.

See directory location in above post.
