Hello!

I just added the forum_access module to set forums open / closed. After installation Drupal complained that the 'access permissions needed to be rebuilt'.

When I hit the link, and started the 'rebuilding process' it always keeps on going and going and going (at url: batch?op=start&id=32). The only way to stop it is to remove the path, but then Drupal says: "An error occured, please return to the homepage".

Any suggestions how to solve this?

This is not a 'complaint' — it's the way it's supposed to work. You can install any node access module and core will behave the same way.

The question is whether it proceeds (i.e. the progress bar increases from left to right) or hangs.

Hello Salvis,

Thanks for your response.

I'm using Lighttpd as webserver, so I'm unable to see any progress. I let the page running for about 20 minutes (that's a long time). I guess it hangs on this.

Don't know how to fix or what's causing ..

I don't understand why your webserver would be the reason that you don't see any progress.

I'm not exactly sure how that batch system works, but I think it keeps reloading the same page over and over again. If your webserver won't allow you to do that, then I don't know what to do.

Try disabling FA and ACL and enabling some other node access module like Content Access. If it behaves the same, then your problem is with the batch system. If it behaves differently, then disable CA and enable ACL alone and try again. Only then add FA and try again.

That ought to let us narrow down where the problem is...

Hey Salvis,

1. "I don't understand why your webserver would be the reason that you don't see any progress." Lighttpd does not support progress bars.

2. The problem was caused by nodes that did not have authors anymore. After a db cleanup, filtering out these nodes, I could run 'rebuilding content access permissions' perfectyle.

Thanks for your feedback. Gr,

1. This is not a real progress bar, only an animated GIF and some dynamic page reloading.

2. Ah, another duplicate of #281326: The content access permissions need to be rebuilt..

Thanks for letting us know.
