have been looking through all the many access denied forum topics but can't find anything similar.
this issue cropped up a couple of months after the transfer of the site to a new server. no idea why it started happening, didnt change anything unless the host has changed something....
basically you can login (as super user or normal user) and you get to the normal user account page and all your admin links, but then when you click on any of the admin links you get an access denied error. Its as if the login session only lasts for one page. Can't even get into access control or anything like that to try to figure it out...
any ideas? thanks

I was having a similar problem today and I eventually solved it by clearing all my cookies using Firefox's developer toolbar.

just tried that and no luck.
also just tried it in explorer and no luck there either, not that i thought that would make any sense, but had seen that in other posts...
any other ideas?

I had similar problem on all my Drupal 4.7.x installations. After PHP was upgraded to 5.2 - this problem popping up.

Adding
register_shutdown_function('session_write_close');

in settings.php really works.

Thanks again.

This indicates x is not the latest version of 4.7. Depending on the value of x, you may run a version with serious security vulnerabilities. See http://drupal.org/security for past advisories.
