I have been running Drupal 6.x (current version is 6.16) for more than a year. This afternoon, someone called saying they are getting an access denied when access the web site. Of course, I'm not having a problem because I am logged in. When I log out, indeed I can replicate the problem.

What I have found: The "Anonymous": user has access to some of the pages and menus. Yes some of them and when I log in as an authenticated, there isn't a problem at all.

What I have done: I cleared the cache and rebuild the permissions. I still have the problem.

I have asked the hosting company to restart apache. I'm not sure if they will be able to accommodate my request.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

thanks

Got a similar issue on one of my sites, following creation of a new content type and node_convert conversion of a few nodes across. All converted nodes after the first, and all new nodes in that content type, are hidden from anonymous users. Typing a url directly gives the message 'Access denied. You may need to login below or register to access this page.'

There appear to be various potential causes, see #124137: Access denied to anonymous users (was: Node access settings). However, I can't find anything that matches my specific issue, especially around newly created content having the same problem. Hope the linked issue helps other people...
