Mango Blog Update 1.5 and enabling manage system permissions

While upgrading my Mango blog installations this evening to the new 1.5 version I ran into a minor stumbling block. The first installation ran perfectly from the administrator, but the other instance would not show me the option to upgrade to the 1.5 version. After scratching my chin for a few minutes, I remembered that the default administrator role does not have "manage system" permissions by default. After adding enabling the missing permission I was able to install the updates, which I had a few to do.

Thank you for sharing this tip. After I added the role to administrator, of course, I had to logout and login again, so it took.

Thank you so very much, I always wondered why I was never able to update it

@Birgit and Josh. Glad that this tip was helpful. I remembered to add the permission to this blog when setting it up, but forgot on my other blog which caused me to miss a few updates.
