I changed the name of my Webmaster group, now I don't have access to the system module, because I did not add myself to the new group, what can I do? How can I edit the database or group to allow me to view the system module again?

Hi Lonestar,
connect to your MySQL database. You have to decide, if you feel more comfortable with a db backup

In the table YourPrefix_groups you find the groupid of your new webmaster group:
SELECT * FROM `xoops_groups`

In the table YourPrefix_users you find the uid of your user
SELECT * FROM `xoops_users`

In the table YourPrefix_groups_users_link you look for the highest linkid
SELECT * FROM `xoops_groups_users_link` ORDER BY `linkid`

Then add a line with the next free linkid, groupid and uid, you want to connect.
INSERT INTO `xoops_groups_users_link` VALUES (next linkid,webmaster groupid,you uid);
e.g.
[i]INSERT INTO `xoops_groups_users_link` VALUES (1, 1, 1);


(This is tested with 2.2.3 / I don't know if there are mayor changes in db structure to 2.0.x !)

what do you mean you didn't add yourself to the new group?

changing the name of the group shouldn't affect permissions of users in the group the webmaster uid=1 can't be removed from the webmaster group.

i can't tell what you are trying when you say you didn't add yourself to the *new* group?

how are you changing the name?

Um...I modified the group "Webmasters" and changed it to "Commanding Officer(s) and after I did that the system module was no longer available. I have been in myPHPadmin, and can't find where to edit it to get it back to normal. I tried navigating to /system/admin/preferences/main.php and it says access denied.

Well I have completely screwed up my database, I'm just going to delete the subdomain and try again, next time I'll create a new group before deleting one.
