Admin gets "Access denied" message on Block administration

By kitsunechan on 30 Oct 2008 at 15:54 UTC

I just installed Drupal and all of my contributed modules. All work fine, but now when I go to adminster blocks (/admin/build/block/list) and attempt move blocks, I get an Access Denied message when I save blocks. With the admin I can administer other areas of my site, but I can no longer administer blocks. The admin is the only user on the site. What do I do now?

Does this happen with the

Does this happen with the Garland theme? What browser? Also try running update.php once, and see if it completes and doesn't stall.

Why is this question is "Module development"? Does it have to do with something you are developing and I missed its meaning?

update.php didn't fix

Garland theme, Firefox.

I ran update.php again, but I'm still getting "Access Denied" whenever I try to save changes to block administration.

Sorry, I guess I shouldn't have put the question in "Module Development". I wasn't sure if this was caused by installing one of the many modules on the site.

Front Page module was the problem

After disabling the Front Page module, I am no longer getting the "Access Denied" message. I don't know why, but my problem is solved. I just won't use Front Page anymore.

Same problem without Front Page module

This usually happens if the current theme is not enabled via the Site Building -> Theme menu. The theme will be marked as default but not enabled so going to edit the blocks for that theme is not allowed since, theoretically, the theme is not enabled.
