# insufficient permissions???

 * Just installed WordPress and, when attempting to login for the first time, I 
   get the error: “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.” 
   What is this? The server error log shows:
 * > [Wed Oct 01 16:21:55 2008] [error] [client 10.11.8.118] PHP Warning: Invalid
   > argument supplied for foreach() in /var/www/html/wpblog/wp-includes/capabilities.
   > php on line 31, referer: [http://hermes.sac.accd.edu/wpblog/wp-login.php](http://hermes.sac.accd.edu/wpblog/wp-login.php)
 * The server is running CentOS5 with Apache.

 * This is a single database with standard installation. I’ve removed the databases
   from MySql and the installed files and completely reinstalled the entire program
   from scratch. Installation went fine but when I try to logon as admin it displays
   a blank screen. The log has:
    [Mon Oct 06 16:30:44 2008] [error] [client 10.11.8.118]
   PHP Fatal error: Cannot unset string offsets in /var/www/html/wpblog/wp-includes/

 * I have exactly the same problem. There’s [this script by Mark ](http://markjaquith.wordpress.com/2006/03/28/wordpress-error-you-do-not-have-sufficient-permissions-to-access-this-page/)
   that seems to help – not for me.
 * I am using a single database with different prefix. But cleaning the DB, deleting
   all the files and reinstalling everything with standard-prefix didn’t work either.
 * _Edit:_ Just tested an installation on a different server – the same problem.
