MyBB Community Forums

Hi,

I have been googling and searching in this forum for a few days and no luck. First accept my apologies for posting here since my issue is related to MyBB 1.2.1.
I recently took over this forum and i need to make some improvements but i have a problem which i can't solve. After trying everything i found on the web i decided to write here.

Here is the issue:

I have access to mysql through PhpMyAdmin. In DB there was no user with UID 1, and i assume it has been deleted. The usergroup 4 is there and everything seems to be fine (set to "yes"). Four of the users in mybb_user table are group 4 which should make them administrators. The user i have access to, is in this group also. When i log into ACP i can only access limited features like: Admin CP Home, CP Preferences and Version Check. In all the others i get "Access Denied - You do not have permission to access this part of the administration control panel."

I have also tried to modify (as found on the web) the mybb_datacache for administrator.

If you could please help me i would be very very grateful.

With deepest respect,

Kasstriot

Sorry, 1.2 isn't supported here anymore, hasn't been since June 1st. 1.4 has been out over a year, and 1.2.1 is insanely old, almost 3 years old, and you have a lot of security vulnerabilities affecting you. Upgrade, and we'll be able to help you.

[Wiki: Upgrading] (Broken link, head over to docs.mybb.com instead)

Edit: Actually, you'll probably need some help to upgrade, I think this issue will prevent it.

In the ./inc/config.php file, there should be a line for super admins:

$config['super_admins'] = '1';

Change the 1 to the ID of your user, and try again.

Report this post if you need any more help with upgrading.
