Okay, apologies for any faux pas I might make as this is my first foray into the community for help and support (btw, all of you are great... I've used these forums to fix a number of my issues in the past).
I'm returning an "Access Denied" error on the home or front or landing page of my site for anonymous users only (http://whatmadnessfills.com/home/). In addition, other pages return fine for anonymous users (for example, http://whatmadnessfills.com/home/node/) and the front page returns fine for an admin or registered user, but not for anonymous.
I noticed this earlier after I logged out and I suspected it was being caused by the front page module (no real basis, just a hunch), so I disabled the module and was then met by a "page not found" error on the front page.
Searching through here I found a fix for that (admin -> site building -> site information -> edit default front page to "node"). After doing so, front page worked fine except for anonymous "Access Denied" error.
How did I break it? Any ideas?
:-/
Thanks in advance!

I have not used that fp module but my instincts say "check your user / permissions."
I would agree, but...

Yes, I agree, but I disabled the front page module (uninstall isn't supported on that module, though I suppose I could just go in there and delete those files, but I'm leaving it there for the time being in case I need to revisit it). Am I missing something? Is there a particular user permission for anonymous users that would make them unable to view the landing or home page (as part of the core or something else)? I did, for what it's worth, look through my user permissions for everything else and I couldn't find an item that might be causing it. :-/
(though, I'm sure this is an easy fix that I'm simply missing somewhere... arrrrggghhh)

Thanks!

clear cached data (fixed)
Sigh.
I remember when I worked tech support for AST Computers we were trained to tell the EU to scandisk, defrag, and call us back if it's still doing it.
I think I'm sensing a trend that "Clear Cached Data" might be the stock solution to most Drupal problems. :-)
I just recently enabled some of the performance goodies on this site and was quite unfamiliar with all that went into this. However, upon reloading the site I realized some of the new content wasn't there.
Easy fix (like I figured). Administer > Site configuration >Performance > Clear Cached Data.
Now, to learn how to use Views to build the front page I want.
:-)
Thanks!

Cool! Yep, that's become my
Cool! Yep, that's become my mantra, too -- clear cache. Glad you thought of it.
The mustardseedmedia.com podcasts and those at lullabot are good for learning such things as VIEWS, etc. My preference, hands-down, is mustardseedmedia because he's fast, to the point and clear.
Did you ever get a solution
Did you ever get a solution to this? I am having the same problem with the front page module with anonymouse users. A teaser is not being displayed due to an access denied error.
permission
check admin/people/permissions and sure that View published content and other related options are enabled.
