I created a Book with 5 sub pages. One of the pages has become inaccessible. The link (in this case /node/19) 404s. Its not listed in the admin content section as existing (either published or non-published). The other book pages still link to it, but the links don't work. As far as I know I have not done anything to make it inaccessible, but I did recently install CiviCRM.

The node does still exist in the database in the tables node, node_access, node_revisions etc and the ancillary fields seem to be the same as the other pages in this book. Its also listed as a page and the title is correct when I tried to edit the book through the admin interface (though again the edit link is dead). I tried re-creating the page and ran into problems there too. Why wouldn't this node be available and how to I get it back? I also tried clearing all of the cache tables and logging out and in as admin and nothing that i've tried so far seems to help.

I don't know why the page isn't accessible, but I thought I'd suggest installing the Devel module (http://drupal.org/project/devel) so you can compare the queries that get run when you call the missing page to the queries run when you call its siblings.

This forum rocks! Thanks for helping out a newbie. I used the devel module and found that the node was linked to a uid that no long existed. I manually updated the uid and the page re-appeared.

Funny thing is that I don't remember deleting any users (there are only a handful) and that you wouldn't think that a page should end up in a sort of limbo if the author is removed.

Glad you got it sorted. I think it's supposed to set the UID to 0 when the user is deleted. I don't know what happened in your case.
