Access denied - You are not authorized to access this page.

I get this message after installing drupal and registering the first admin account.
Tried some solutions mentioned in other threads in this forum (common problem?), but nothing works.
(eg http://drupal.org/node/20397#comment-177472)
Are there any 'official' solutions to this problem?
Would appreciate any help!
Centos 4.4, php 4.3.9. Drupal 5.1
Thanks!

if the email was not sent to you that contained your password and you did not change it immediatley after signing in, you may have to go into the database and manually change the password.

I can't log in at all. I follow the link from the activation mail immediately, but the only thing I get is the access denied page. :-|
I've tried deleting all tables, reinstalling, modified settings.ini, session.inc, index.php. Registering additional users (cant login either). Changing password in the db. Nothing helps.

By the way, I've got an installation running on a virtual machine with more ore less the same setup, OS, etc.
On the VM everything seems to be working okay, but I can't login to drupal when accessing it over ssh, tunneled, only when accessing the server *directly*. Same error message.
solved!
making some changes in settings.php solved my problem- defining path, and commenting out code setting session.cookie_domain
Apparently, there are problems with session/cookie handling in drupal(?) Looks like my problem was similar to this http://drupal.org/node/132627 (non standard port on the public server)
Access Denied for nonusers
I have recently upgraded my Drupal to version 5.1 I've been experiencing all sorts of problems. My biggest concern is that all non users who did not have an account.. before the upgrade were able to access the website. Now if you do not log in and go to the home page it display "You are not authorized to access this page. Access Denied." The entire website is restricted. I'm very new to working with web pages and I'm struggling to find my way through it. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas on how I can resolve this?
