Hello,
First off I want to say that I've searched the forums and have not found an answer to my problem, but if I missed a posting I apologizing for posting the issue again.
I've got a site running drupal 5.7, with CCK 5-1.6, filefield 5-2.3 and CCK Field Permissions 5-1.10. I have set the download method of the File system to Private because I don't want people to get the link to files loaded onto the site and send those hot links around. What is happening though is that when this download method is set to Private I can't get anyone other than user1 to be able to get access to any file.
In the Access Control section I've given "view filefield uploads" access to all authenticated users but this doesn't seem to do the trick. What am I missing here? I totally can't see it (and that usually means I've missed something completely obvious and right in front of my face).
Thanks in advance!
Pat

I'd consider updating to to drupal 5.10 as you are 3 security and bug fix releases behind.
when you go to administer -> post settings
is there a button to rebuild the access table ?
Hi Very, yes, upgrading to
Hi Very,
yes, upgrading to 5.10 is on my list of things to do. I just need to iron out these final wrinkles before my upgrade :)
There is a button to rebuild the access table.. I feared it would be something this simple that I completely overlooked. Thanks!

nuts.. that didn't work..
nuts.. that didn't work.. any other thoughts?
no other ideas from me, it
no other ideas from me, it could be a bug in the version you are using though. 2 ways to investigate that would search the issue queue for core. or setting up a duplicate site with 5.10 and seeing if the same behavior exists.
because the rebuild button is visible tells me , someting isn't right. In a default install that button isn't visible.
what seems to happen is modules that control access are installed and uninstalled on a production site which isn't good practice. While it sounds like an access problem, another module could be causing an issue.
I was afraid of that.
I was afraid of that. Thanks Very... I'm going to keep looking. It's good to know that that rebuild button isn't suppose to visible though. Thanks again.
