Hi Jeff, I fear that this is not the problem because I am using my former LocalSettings.php. The permissions are set as follows:
# Prevent new user registrations except by sysops $wgGroupPermissions['*']['createaccount'] = false; # Restrict editing by all non-sysop users $wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['user']['edit'] = false; $wgGroupPermissions['sysop']['edit'] = true; # To prevent normal users from uploading files $wgGroupPermissions['user']['upload'] = false; But when I have logged into my account which is an sysop account I have no rights to edit the main page or the common.css page, etc. When clicking on settings within my account (I am not speaking of the LocalSettings.php) the field where I can usually see the entries sysop, bureaucrat, etc. ist empty. I reconstructed this update twice. Before updating everything is fine. After updating I have the mentioned problems.
