I have a Drupal website I have had for a couple of years. I upgraded from FCKEditor to CKEditor today and discovered that I can no longer update any of my user permissions. I check the boxes to give permission to CKEditor (or any other module) and click save. It says it saves fine, but the boxes are unchecked when it returns from the save.

I upgraded from Drupal 6.19 to 6.20, in case this is a bug, but no luck. I did run update.php and I am logged in as the administrator.

Any ideas what could cause this or how to fix it?

Thank you in advance

I still can't update permissions from the user permissions page, but I just discovered I can change permissions from the role...

Is this happening on the default permissions page (i.e., admin/user/permissions)?

Does the same behavior occur on the permissions page for the individual roles (e.g., admin/user/permissions/2)?

If so? It could be a php.ini setting, memory_limit, that is too low.

yes, it is happening on admin/user/permissions.

phpinfo shows the memory limit as 128M. This sounds reasonable to me, but I do have lots of modules. If you still think this could be it, I'll try adjusting it up.

128MB sounds like it should be plenty.

Have you taken a look at the error logs? Perhaps there is a PHP or MySQL error that is causing the problem?

However, if the increase doesn't solve the problem, here are a few more things to try:
* clear all caches
* manually run cron
* re-run update.php (just to be sure)
* disable all contributed modules and then re-enable

And just to be on the safe side, I would back up your site before you implement these changes.

Also, take a look at another issue (it's from a while ago, but still relevant I think). Here is the link to the specific solution offered,

It looks as though instead of changing memory limit, they changed the following php.ini settings:
upload_max_filesize
post_max_size

Try increasing them by a factor of 5 to see if it solves the issue.

Hope some of this helps.

The info in the link solved it! Thank you soooo much, I never would have found that one on my own!

Just to be clear, it was post #24 in the link that solved this (/etc/php5/conf.d/suhosin.ini).
