Using Drupal 4.7.2
In Home » administer » settings
User registration settings
It seems to be locked on:
Visitors can create accounts but administrator approval is required.
I check the other boxes and "Save Configuration" and/or "Reset to Defaults" but it always returns to above permission.
Also can't seem to find anymore the User Permissions where I can change according to user roles access to read/write of different content types.

More Information
Administer/Settings/Users
Sounds like you have a database access issue.
- When you save the change do you get the "The configuration options have been saved" message at the top of the page?
- Can you create new content ok?
Administer/Settings/Access Control
User Permissions are set through the above menu.
- Do you see that menu?
- When you click on it, do you see the permissions page?
Administer/Settings
Thanks for your reply:
Administer/Settings/Users
Message I get is:
* warning: mkdir(files/pictures): Permission denied in /var/www/html/drupal/includes/file.inc on line 91.
* The directory files/pictures does not exist.
* The settings have not been saved because of the errors.
Administer/Settings/Access Control
Actually this doesn't seem to be available my Administer/Settings Menu is as follows
# settings
* aggregator
* content types
* menus
* posts
* profiles
* search
* upload
* users
Couple Things
Ok.. much more detail, that helps.
1st . You've hit a common /files issue. There is more information here http://drupal.org/node/49763. The short of it is you need to do a "chmod 0777" on the files directory. The 0 is important to remove the "sticky bit" that is probably set. Do you have shell access?
2nd . My apologies, its Administer/Access Control.... do you see that?
Thanks Again
1. Working on it
2. My Administer menu:
# administer
* aggregator
* blocks
* categories
* comments
* content
* input formats
* logs
* menus
* modules
* settings
* themes
* users
* help
Access Control
Type in the following url: http://www.example.com/admin/access - replace www.exmple.com with your own URL.
If you get this page, you need to check "administer access control" under the User Module for your role. Also check to make sure the User Module is installed under Administer/Modules.
If you don't get this page, you are not using the Admin account that you originally setup with Drupal. Switch to that account.
Access Control
Thanks again. I'm still working on this but I think you have found the problem. I guess because I seemingly could access everything else I didn't think about whether or not I was the first user registered.
