Hello,

I don't what happened but I am not able anymore to access pages I create, publish and promote to the front page, if I am not logged in.

I get this message:
Access denied
You are not authorized to access this page.

Any advice?

Regards,

Sounds like a permission problem. Under Administer >>User Management>>Access Control, make sure that anonymous users are allowed to access content under node module.

Thx for reply.

In fact they are allowed to do so. Any anonymous user could see content.

People cold see the whole site except the content i create NOW.

Any other solution?

goto adminsiter -> post settings

do you have a message about your node_access table ? do you have a rebuild permissions button ? if so click it.

Wow!

I am impressed!

Thank you guys, both of you.
The message was:

If the site is experiencing problems with permissions to content, you may have to rebuild the permissions cache. Possible causes for permission problems are disabling modules or configuration changes to permissions. Rebuilding will remove all privileges to posts, and replace them with permissions based on the current modules and settings.

Rebuilding may take some time if there is a lot of content or complex permission settings. After rebuilding has completed posts will automatically use the new permissions.

How could that happen and and why isn't it automatic?

normally this occurs because a user installs a module that affects the node_access table ie: taxonomy access control, organic groups and other access module. A problem with node_access can arise when these modules are also removed.

Is there any other solution???, In my case no one can see any content except of the administrators who have right to administer and edit the contents.

Please Help.
