Hi, I am relatively new to drupal, finally got my site up and running-
I installed the user module and I can add working users myself
but when someone registers on my site (www.musecafe.co.za).
They recieve the email for log-in etc, but they do not appear in my user lists in administer.
They cannot log-in or re-register... I think this has something to do with the access denied
front page problem which I have (and apparently so do many others). I checked most of the
forum posts but they all refer to earlier versions of Drupal. I was wondering if these two
problems are linked? Are there any more recent & hopefully simplified (I'm unsure about
editing code) solutions to these problems? Please help. It is a forum/blog/chat site I set up
for a varsity project and it has to be submitted in about a week...

Have you tried..
1. Make sure that anonymous users are able to view content: Administer->User management->Access control (may sort the access denied problem)
2. Are the people having problems logging in using IE? If so, take out the www in the url's and it may solve the problem...there are loads of posts about this...search for 'IE' & 'Login'
3. People can't re-register with the same email address as an already existing user, you need to delete them from the user list before they are able to do it (although sort 2 first and you may not need to do this)
Hey Dr Tom, i have tried all
Hey Dr Tom, i have tried all your suggestions to no avail.
The admin is correct, i tried the www in the urls (no difference)
and in your third tip, the users have not been registered in my
site admin. It has occurred to me that the problem may lie in my database...
Do you know the correct values that should be in the phpmyadmin
user tables? I have no values entered for 'name'; 'pass' or 'mail'.
Do you think this could be it?
Thanks for replying earlier, this is killing me.
=-=
is your site set to use email activation ?
if so, are these users geting the email and activating their account ?
Yes, they recieve the emails
Yes, they recieve the emails but can't login (or re-register after that, which puzzles me because they have not been added to the user list, but it tells them their email address has already been used...)
solution
Apologies, i had not activated the email settings in phpmyadmin. That solved the user problem (now they are added to the user list and can log in) but it still hasnt solved my access denied problem. I'll just keep trawling through the access denied pages... :) thanks for your help.
