Access Denied in Orca 6.1.1 - Worked prior to upgrade!

Stuart038 posted 16th of May 2008 in Community Voice. 16 comments.

In forums I select a Forum then I select a category and click new topic (or reply, same prob) I get access denied, you need special permissions or you are not signed in.

I am signed in, the forums are public and free is selected in admin. I have also allowed all under Standard Member, But i still cannot access the forum (no problem via admin).

This worked before Dolphin 6.1.1 upgrade.

Any ideas?

Ok, solved it. I had to go to the members section and 'activate' members.

I had already done this but I had to go to the top most members list and click on the lettering that said in-active (why I don't know). How many times do you have to activate a member? Or am I confusing activate profile with activating member??

Boonex, could you clarify, is this a bug?

It seems I spoke too soon...

The above problem has reared its head once more, this time all the members are 'active'.

Any ideas anyone?

access denied, you need special permissions or you are not signed in.

I retraced my steps and it appears I was only able to post a forum message previously because Dolphin had defaulted to 'Admin' This happens if I have two windows open, one of them 'Admin'

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

instead of running tabs on your browser, or even running the same browser, you can switch to admin on a new page, or you can use a different browser altogether and avoid the problem you are having with your browser defaulting you to admin.

let me know if you need further help.

Access denied. You must have special permissions to access this area or you are not logged in.

I get the same error message

"Access denied. You must have special permissions to access this area or you are not logged in."

whenever I successfully edit a forum posting.

I receive an "Access denied" message whenever I try to edit a group posting.

These are both Orca, so I figure the problem is there. I am going to try reverting to the former Orca version and see if it helps.

Anybody solved this problem? I get the same. I also sent a mail to Boonex support but no reply.

Same issue here. I have also logged a call with support but have no feedback on it yet.

Can anyone please provide some insight on this? My users are unable to work on the Forums at the moment.

My fix, so far so good...
Change the following folder permissions to the following.

dolphindirectory/groups/gallery - 0777
dolphindirectory/groups/orca/cachejs - 0777
dolphindirectory/groups/orca/classes - 0777
dolphindirectory/groups/orca/js - 0777
dolphindirectory/groups/orca/layout - 0777
dolphindirectory/groups/orca/log - 0777


This worked for me, but I can't guarantee it for you.

see moreI was having a problem with this as well. It was not working and has not been for months. I followed the directions above from Archer and it did not appear to work immediately. Then I had a user create a group and post to it and it worked. I tried to create a group and post to it under activities and it did not work, then I tried animals and pets and it WORKED, then I went back to activities and it worked as well. So I really dont know what the solution was but it appears to work now. Very mysterious.
