I have an installation of Drupal 6.x that was seemingly doing well. I created another admin user, so I would be using a named account and created the taxonomy for the site. I took a look at the terms by visiting .../taxonomy/term/143 and everything seemed fine. I then tried to view the site as an anonymous user, and I get the following message when viewing the page, "Access denied. You are not authorized to access this page." This message appears whether I'm anonymous or the super admin, basically whenever I'm NOT the user who created the terms in the respective vocabularies.

Here is what I tried so far:

1. I tried logging into the site as the super admin, and creating a new vocabulary and list of terms. I then tried to view the term and received the same error as above.

2. I clicked in the list of terms, edited the terms, and still received the same error when logged in as the administrator.

3. I browsed through the the database but did not end up making any changed because I didn't really see where permissions for a particular vocabulary/term even come into play.

Any help would be MUCH appreciated.

Upon further review it seems that even the named admin user cannot view the terms when logged in. Basically no users can ever view the terms using the link /taxonomy/term/144.

The plot thickens.

Is that the only URL path that gives the access denied error?

Yes, it is. I was able to trace back to an issue with the Views module. I went ahead and uninstalled the release that was on the site (RC3), copied up the newest version (RC5), and activated the module.

That seems to have fixed the issue and the rest of the pages are now loading normally.

thank you I was getting crazy...
it was Views module !
using views 6.x-2.3 2009-Feb-07

I didn't know what was going on.... I disabled views and I can see taxonomy terms now.
I enabled views again and again. access denied....

I disabled the taxonomy_term view and the it is working again as before.

Same here. But disabling Views is not an option. I want/need it. e.g. for Image Assist.

Is there a solution that works when Views are enabled?

I was looking at the taxonomy_term view but I don't understand the dozens of properties. Is
it possible to configure permissions there in order to overcome the access denied error?
