Quote:Where can I add a Super Admin???

Open up the "inc/config.php" file, under

/**
 * Super Administrators
 *  A comma separated list of user IDs who cannot
 *  be edited, deleted or banned in the Admin CP.
 *  The administrator permissions for these users
 *  cannot be altered either. */ 

add this:

$config['super_admins'] = 'uidhere';

Change "uidhere" to the uid of the admin you want to add as a super admin. (there should already be one there with uid 1 (if you ran the upgrade/install wizard & were the board starter.)

thanx

I had these errors too.

Did you try going to your Admin Permissions in the Admin CP and changing your own Admin Permissions?

OK, I've patched my forum already according to the what Chris said and reloaded permissions as you said and it helped, thanks
And what about the encoding while quoting? My character encoding is set to iso-8859-2 and while quick quoting some characters in my language (polish) are broken.

This is on the page titled Settings Synchronisation

In the box I get

Quote:The board settings have been synchronised with the latest in MyBB.

%1$s new settings inserted along with %2$s new setting groups.

To finalise the upgrade, please click next below to continue.

settings.php and config.php are the original ones from my 1.1.8 installation.

I hit next and the board seems to be working fine.........

Also where exactly do you add a Super Admin

My settings.php file was chmod'd 777 and I got this error.  Note that open_basedir is looking for an /inc/settings.php -- in the ROOT directory, not a /path/to/forums/inc/settings.php.

Anyway, I "hack" fixed this problem by simple modifying upgrade.php to additionally output the $settings variable to the web page (enclosed in HTML comments), so I could copy them manually to my settings.php file.

First off. thank you Chris. My install went almost perfect. I noticed I get these same errors as above but I could proceed with the installation without any issues. Everything seems to be working great and I notice no errors anywhere . My question is:
1. Will these errors listed above effect my board anyway? If so, do I need to run the installer again with the newest upgrade files that's been published for fixes?

hemi,

How long ago did you download the release which you updated to?

Well Done to the MyBB Team. It was a pleasure Beta testing for you

Yesterday Chris

The board seems to be working great and I have had no errors however, I was kinda worried cause I have some BIG name drummers on my site and I was in fear I was going to screw something up. I did back everything up however and still have the backup. Do I need to re-install everything? I also applied the update you had too.

I tried to attach the version I downloaded Chris but the file was too large. if you need me to send it to you or someone, please PM a email addy to do so

Works great now. Lost all of my mods, they weren't compatible, but... hopefully they'll be updated soon by their creators.
