I am pulling my hair out trying to figure out why anonymous users are receiving an access denied message when trying to access book nodes.
The site is www.robonline.id.au
The books are in the left nav as Education and Training @ Students. I set the student's book up just to test it is for all books and nit just the Ed @ Training book. the Web development link is a blog style page picking up a taxonomy term and it works fine.
I feel like I have checked everything, tried it out on different PC's, rebuilt permissions in post settings.
I am at a loss.

Please help

insure anon user role has content access privledges in adminsiter -> access control

Book module also listed specific permissions under book.module in same area.

anon users can access content in node module - access content
Book module has options for create..., edit..., outline..., see printer friendly... - All are unchecked except "see printer friendly"

Still not working

The problem seems to be og. I disabled a number of modules and found that I could get access to book pages. Then i reenabled og and created a group and now can't access book pages at all again.

Any ideas?

When I turn og off (leaving views on) anon users can access the book pages. When I turn og back on anon users receive an access denied message.

I don't even have the OG module installed and it will not not let my Anon's view the books. I surprised this is not a bigger issue, since I have a pretty vanilla straight forward installation.

This get's weirder and weirder. Anonymous users can not get to the 1st page of a book, but using the URL to get to the children you can navigate up and down the tree until you try to get to the very top, and then you get told to bugger off.

You can even SEARCH for a term and find it inside the book and access it that way, just so long as you don't start at the top.

My system was upgraded from 4.7 to 5.1 by fantastico - cause that is the only way that the ISP will allow the operation. Might be related to that... however considering the size of the people trapped by this use-case the simple "don't do it that way" is not an option.

I'm going to toast these Books, create new ones, and move the child pages to them and see if that doesn't solve the issue.

Killing the old root book pages and sliding everything under a new page solved the issue for me. Serious PIA.

Happened too when i disabled "liquid wiki" module. Must be something with the wiki access rules ...

If i disable it or no one will see "new book page entries" (except admin) , just the old ones they can see.

When I disabled the module, anon users can't access book pages added or modified after disabling it.
I'm currently keeping liquid enabled (as I don't use it) to get access for anons.
Hope this could be fixed in next liquid release, or someone provide info about fixing it.
