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.

Regards,
Catlyn
