All of a sudden, my admin panel, the configuration area stops showing up. I cannot access sitename.com/admin/settings

In my administration panel, the entire "Configuration" grouping has dissappeared. what do i do now? im on 6.14

Are you logged in as user #1? If not, try to login with that user and then see.

I'm having the same problem.
Logged in as UID 1... access denied on admin/settings after an update.php (module updated was webform).

check your setting.php file. if you found somthing like this "$cookie_domain", disable it and then try to access admin area.

Thanks for the reply.

I am aware of the $cookie_domain and for this site it's disabled.
I logged out, flushed all cookies for the domain, logged back in but it still did not work.

I forgot to say that it is ONLY admin/settings page that has an access denied. All it's children work (ex. admin/settings/performance works fine).

Is something wrong with admin_landing_page_access for D6.14?

can you check error logs of your site from Drupal admin: admin/reports/dblog

May be we can have some idea from there..

Absolutely nothing in the log.

But the problem seemed to come from the "Admin" module (drupal.org/project/admin).
I re-installed it, and everything is fine now.

For information, I compared the menu_links, menu_router and variables tables, but didn't see much.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

I just ran into this with Admin module too, and disabling/reenabling Admin seemed to take care of it.

Disabling/Reenabling the Admin module worked for me, too.

Yep just disable and then re-enable the admin module and the problem should be solved.

Have been banging my head for this for quite a while now. Thanks for the suggestion.
