I can't administer my site

AllSystemGo - October 23, 2007 - 19:02

I can't figure out how to access the administer page on my drupal.

I'm trying \\localhost\?q=user

Then I enter:

User: admin
PWD: ****

I access the page and as soon as I press the administer link on the left it's telling me that I don't have the right to access that page.

Please help me out!!!

Cheers

What it's telling me exactly

What it's telling me exactly is : You are not authorized to access this page.

are you positive that "admin" is the superuser account? Just because the username is "admin" means nothing to drupal. drupal only understands that user/1 is superuser. do http://localhost/?q=user/1 and verify the username for the superuser account.

I did what you ask but it

I did what you ask but it gives me "You are not athorized to access this page" message again!

Thank you for your help and I hope you can help me out figuring why I have this message all of a sudden

EDIT: I just thought about something, is it possible, since I'm on Ubuntu, that I removed an access to the admin page and that's why I get that message??? Maybe I chmod the directory containing the admin page and It doesn't like it!!!

Just a thought... Let me know!

absolutely--- though there

absolutely--- though there is no "admin page" per say-- (remember drupal stores "pages" in a db, there are no .html pages) I would think that changing the permissions on files/folders in the drupal directory can affect access. Retrace your steps and see if you can undo what you did.

It's been a while since I

It's been a while since I did that change. Is there one place in particular that I should check for the proper rights.

And thank you again for your help

Try this, I had the same

Try this, I had the same problem:

Step #1:

Commented out following in user.module:
session_regenerate_id(); // about line 959...

Step #2:

Added line below drupal_page_footer(); in index.php:
$GLOBALS['tempUser'] = $user; // this alone might already work...

Hope it works

OMG you saved my a$$ big
