Not sure what you tried.  Here's how I would do it:

1) Activate the Debian member role.

1a) wait about 10 seconds, then cancel the crappy broken PHP and load 
the admin page againg - and if 1) didn't succeed then try again giving a 
little more time

2) in settings for the Debian member role, set it to visible and grant 
write access
