+I even managed to set up ikiwiki so it works fine with git; but how on earth do
+I log in as an administrator? In the .setup file the admin user is set to
+'zimek' but when I go and register 'zimek' on the web it appears as normal user
+not the administrator. What am I missing?
+
+> That's really all there is to it. The [[automatic_setup|setup]] script
+> registers the admin user for you before the wiki goes live. If you didn't
+> use it, registering the right account name will get you the admin account.

+> The name is case sensative, perhaps you really spelled one of them `Zimek`?
+>
+> Or maybe you're the admin, and don't know it? Everything looks the same for the admin,
+> except they can edit even locked pages, and can access the websetup interface from their
+> Preferences page, if you have that plugin enabled. --[[Joey]]

+>> Maybe I'm indeed. I know that I've disabled all the plugins while installing ikiwiki. Checking it now ;-)
