We're having trouble trying to set access to modules in usermanagement->access_control. we check the proper boxes and then when saving the permissions, we get an access denied error and our session gets terminated. We are logged in on the first account and have to login again to get anywhere.

just a thought: beware of 'www' in your urls... if you log in at http://www.example.com, then try to access http://example.com/admin/node/access , you won't be allowed. (you can enforce one or the other in the .htaccess file in Drupal's root.)

It looks like an authentication thing. Even though I've logged in admin, the logs are reporting that the attempt at the change is by anonymous. To me this is wierd. I'm using firefox as the browser and it is accepting cookies.

Do you have any idea what I'm missing?

Thanks,

clearing cookies or logging in on another browser?

Firefox and IE. I also tried changing the cookie name.

Do you have any modules that would mess with the sessions? Another login module or access modules?

~silverwing - thinking out loud here...

That sounds a lot like cookie domain issues (the www vs non-www access noted above is a common example), your login goes through and appears to work but the cookie accepted by your browser probably doesnt point to the site and the site thinks your still an anonymous user.
