how can i create a second sysop? until now it has only been an admin

you need to go directly into the database and change the class number to your highest class
you cannot promote or demote a class equal to yours

thank you I changed that. the second sysop stays at its rank for a short time and is then power user


if I change it again in the database, when I click on staff panel, I get this error:
Incorrect access
Silly Rabbit - Trix are for kids .. You dont have the correct credentials to be here!

check staff_settings.php and staff_settings2.php. you need to add username credentials on that pages.

that's how it is set for me. is that not right?

staff_settings.php
**/
$INSTALLER09['allowed_staff']['id'] = array(1,2,3,4);
?>


staff_settings2.php
$INSTALLER09['staff']['allowed'] = array( 'user1' => 1,
'user2' => 2,
'user3' => 3,
'user4' => 4
);

correct is :
staff_settings2.php
$INSTALLER09['staff']['allowed'] = array( 'user1' => 1,
'user2' => 1,
'user3' => 1,
'user4' => 1
);

Verify also on database table users override_class value need to be higher than class value. default override_class value is 255

I've changed that, when I click on the staff panel I get this
message: Incorrect access
Silly Rabbit - Trix are for kids .. You dont have the correct credentials to be here!

and then I'm back to power

try to change all again and restart browser. when u promote a user to staf it need to be logged out.

well wasn't your user already in the allowed staff list ids and names? it should be

See annotations above. Also note that it would always be a good idea to clear/flush memcache/memcached after any staff changes.
