I dont know why, but I cannot run the rebuild permissions in post settings. When I select rebuild permissions, it appears to be loading for a second, then goes to the node settings page. No permissions rebuild done.

Also, this may or may not be related, the update.php goes straight to the frontpage when I am at the point of starting the updated of the database.

I use drush to get around issues with slow response and update.php, but do not have a command line work around for rebuilding permissions. Ideas?

Also, while troubleshooting this issue, I found that the node_access table gets truncated when I run the rebuild in the web interface and then it dumps back to the other page...

At least that tells me that it is actually in the process when something goes bad..

Is there some temp folder or something that it needs to write to? I am not seeing anything in syslog, apache, or in the drupal watchdog logs indicating what the problem is. It is very frustrating..

I build a clean 6.12 dev site, installed the modules... When I installed FriendList, the problem showed up there too... I uninstalled friendlist and the problem stays..

To rebuild permissions from the command-line: install drush and try

drush php-eval 'node_access_rebuild();'

I've created this drush extention to do this as a batch job on D7 - just running the php command times out on larger sites:

Drush command drush php-eval 'node_access_rebuild()'

For Drupal 8.4 this function still exists. So the Drush command method also still works:

# drush php-eval 'node_access_rebuild();'

Thanks @Tapas Talukder and @chOP, and it still works in Drupal 8.5.0.

Hi Guys,

I also tried below command mentioned in #8 for my 8.7.8 drupal version. but it is not working though it shows "rebuilt successfully".

do we need to do special setting in drush?

# drush php-eval 'node_access_rebuild();

I am following below steps:
- i am migrating some CSV data using migration module into the site.
- after that nodes get import and we need to rebuild the permission to get added data visible to the normal viewer.
- we have default drush is installed on server
- I am running "drush php-eval 'node_access_rebuild();' " using SSH but data not get reflect on site.
- instead i used admin panel and status page link to rebuild node permission it works well.

But here i wanted to run some script at the backend so need to add above command in script but not working.

Any clue, why is not working? Did I missing any steps here.

Please guide.
Thanks in advance.

You could try updating to the latest version 9.7.2 or even Drush 10? Have you tried running the command with extra verbosity, by adding -vvv?
