uninstall content_access revokes access for all nodes (5.x)

Issue Summary

I tried to uninstall the content_access module last night by turning it off on the modules screen. I realized this morning that all anonymous users couldn't get to content.

Looking at the database, the node_access table had stopped inputting nids into the table about a month ago?

In any case, I turned the module back on, but still couldn't access content anonymously. So I went to content types and hit the submit button. It seemed to update that table with new nids.

My question is, though, how to get rid of content_access module without messing anything up. An easy way I'm overlooking?

Thanks!

Had the same problem for newly created pages, looked through the module's source and found the node_access_rebuild() function. Ran it once as admin in an existing page and it fixed the problem for good. It should be added to the uninstall routine. Hope it helps.

Closing it as 5.x is not supported anymore. And in newer Drupal versions, you'll get a warning to rebuild the permissions.

Is it still valid on D6? if so reopen this issue and change the version to 6.x, since 5.x is not supported anymore.

yes this is still vaild on 6.x. You want people to upgrade a site busted due to this module and hope that that corrects problems?

As far as I understand, 5.x is no longer supported. Updating title to make it easier for people to find, just in case.

@captaingeek - if you have ideas how to fix it then that's great. Otherwise it seems apparent that this issue doesn't affect very many people so the best status is closed.
