InvalidParameterException after deleting users from users_entity table
By Mikelo Vatki
I recently added a large number of users using the upload_users plugin. However, I realized that I had mistakenly uploaded a csv containing md5 hashes of the users' passwords rather than the plaintext. I tried to delete these users by dropping their corresponding rows in the users_entity table but now I get the error "InvalidParameterException: All files must have an owner!" when I visit the users administration page. What is the best thing for me to do at this point?

You must log in to post replies.(1) That WAS WRONG -- You should not have deleted thattaway without an understanding of the Elgg database structure => trouble LOL ;-)
(2) There is another place for this discussing this problem.. have a look
(1) Yeah, I realized right after I did it that that was a bad idea. However, I went into the entities table (I made a backup first) and deleted the rows with the GUIDS that I had removed from the users_entity table. When I did this the error disappeared and the users admin page appears to be back to normal.
(2) thanks for pointing that out.
you're learning more and fast ;-)
cool...
