Hi guys,

I'm experiencing a really big problem. To sum up the issue within a sentence, almost all the content of my site is not accessible anymore for the anonymous user. The main page is accessible, and when a user is logged in, everything is accessible again. With great speed.

Now, what I have and what I have already done:

- Drupal 4.6.6
- aggregator module which aggregates from 4 sources
- cron job running every 2 hours
- captcha, excerpt, sitemap, tinymce installed
- anon user does have "access content" permission
- node_access table does have grant view "all" row entry
- cache, sessions, watchdog tables are cleaned up
- changed cache, sessions, watchdog tables to InnoDB type according to a thread, but does not help. Reverted.
- contacted my hosting company. The max simultaneous connections is increased with 20%, but seems this does not help.
- disabling cache set the whole site not accessible. Enabled it again, so at least the main page is accessible.

This happens since 1 week. Everything was fine before that.

I stuck with reading tons of threads in the forum, including cache issues, high traffic problems (my site does not have that high traffic, around 8000 hits a day), ... but still cannot find a solution for this.

Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you in advance.

additional

- there is user 0 in the "users" table
- some node does appear after some hours.

Seems it's a mess up with the cache ... clean up does not help.

Any helps please?

I wrote some sloppy code the other day and had a similar problem. Try this link:

It really saved me a lot of head-scratching.

Hi,

I do not have the "access denied" error ... but the server just times out ... sometime trying to load some content later does appear ... sometime not.

The problem of timeouts on accessing most of the content for anonymous user still exists ... anybody have any suggestions?

I really stuck and maybe using postgre db might be the last chance ... or recreate the site, however this would be a very time-consuming :(

Just a thought .. in your settings.php file ->

ini_set('memory_limit', '32M'); //or whatever value you think might help.

I did help on my site, although my issues were not as elaborate as yours ;).
