## Bug description

When I visit http://localhost:5280/admin/ and register as admin, i see the message on this web site, that i don't have administration rights. I've changed my /etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.yml to have such rights, but it doesn't work anyway

[badlop]

ejabberd version: 18.09

Are you really using that ejabberd version?

You only provide some parts of your configuration file, but forget the important ones: acl, access_rules and api_permissions.

And the few lines that you copied, apparently are wrongly copied or wrongly set.

This configuration will work:

acl:
  admin:
    user: admin@localhost

access_rules:
  configure:
    allow: admin

api_permissions:
  "webadmin":
    from: ejabberd_web_admin
    who: admin
    what: "*"

The log says "starting 23.01"

[ArsiKbArsikLR]

I fixed my configuration file:

  admin:
     user:
       - "admin@localhost"

  local:
    user_regexp: ""
  loopback:
    ip:
      - 127.0.0.0/8
      - ::1/128

auth_method: sql
sql_type: mysql
sql_server: "localhost"
sql_database: "ejabberd"
sql_username: "admin"
sql_password: "1234"

access_rules:
  configure:
    allow: admin

api_permissions:
  "webadmin":
    from: ejabberd_web_admin
    who: admin
    what: "*"
  "console commands":
    from:
      - ejabberd_ctl
who: all
    what: "*"
  "admin access":
    who:
      access:
        allow:
          - acl: loopback
          - acl: admin
      oauth:
        scope: "ejabberd:admin"
        access:
          allow:
            - acl: loopback
            - acl: admin
    what:
      - "*"
      - "!stop"
      - "!start"
  "public commands":
    who:
      ip: 127.0.0.1/8
    what:
      - status
      - connected_users_number``` 

But anyway nothing has changed.

If your current instalaltion doesn't work at all, you can try this:

1. Uninstall ejabberd
2. Delete all the ejabberd binaries, configuration files, mnesia spool directory... everything you have installed for ejabberd, or that ejabberd may have created
3. Download ejabberd 24.07
4. Install it
5. Start it
6. Does it start correctly?
7. Register an account, can you login with it to the WebAdmin?
8. Then make 1 small change in the configuration. For example, put your desired server name in the hosts option. Restart ejabberd. Does everything work perfectly?
9. Then do another small change in the configuration. Restart ejabberd, Test it works

If something does not work, please explain in what step number did you find the problem, and all the changes you made to the configuration file.

Thank you so much. Now everything is working!
