“You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”

I went digging and digging and then digging somemore, and I ran into an issue that I had seen before. I made some changes to the httpd.conf and had to restart apache, and for several minutes my issue went away. So I went into my php.ini file and disabled mmcache, and presto it worked.

If you have mmcache or some other extensions loaded with php you might want to check and disable them and see if it changes. You can do this in one of three ways.

Directory directive in httpd.conf,
<Directory ‘/some/path/to/wordpress’>
php_admin_value mmcache_enable 0
php_admin_value mmcache_optimizer 0
</Directory>

PHP.ini file just comment out or turn mmcache.enable=’0′ and mmcache.optimizer=’0′

Also do something similar with .htaccess
php_admin_value mmcache_enable 0
php_admin_value mmcache_optimizer 0

You might say but I dont have mmcache installed or whatever, but this should show some of those struggling that there might be something other then WP to blame for the issue, and it might be something that you have to play with in Apache or PHP.ini.

I have just changed the options of the Brian threaded comments [ http://meidell.dk/archives/2004/09/04/nested-comments/%5D when appear this message:
Cheatin’ uh?
when I tried to go to the plugin options the message was:
You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.
I read all this thread and tried some suggestions but my website http://www.nelshael.com is still down T_T
I’m waiting for other any ideas about this problem.

I got the problem after upgrade from 2.0.3 -> 2.0.4
The server is running in php_safemode

Qurious about how to fix this.
The plugin im trying to use again is organizer
Disabled b4 upgrade
Enabled after upgrade with this error
“You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”

I finally fixed the problem.

There doesn’t seem to be any clear explanation here of what is happening, so I’ll try to explain it as I understand it.

When some people upgrade (or perhaps do a fresh install) for some reason or another some crucial tables are not being properly updated. In my case, I did an upgrade, and three tables were not updated. I had to manually add insert new data to get my WP install to work.

All of the data that is missing relates to the new permission system. I strongly suspect that for people who skipped a version or two of WP, these tables are not being properly updated by upgrade.php, as I had no problem with WP installs where I have been doing regular updates. I think this is a bug and should be fixed.

There are two tables and three rows of data I had to manually insert.

The first table is the wp_usermeta table. You want it to look exactly like this (mine was empty!):

http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/admin/

The second table is the wp_options table. You need to add a new option called “wp_user_roles” which is not being created properly. There are only two things you need to change when you insert a new row into this table. First, “option_name” should be “wp_user_roles”. Second, the “option_value” should be set to the following very long string of text:

a:5:{s:13:”administrator”;a:2:{s:4:”name”;s:13:”Administrator”;s:12:”capabilities”;a:30:{s:13:”switch_themes”;b:1;s:11:”edit_themes”;b:1;s:16:”activate_plugins”;b:1;s:12:”edit_plugins”;b:1;s:10:”edit_users”;b:1;s:10:”edit_files”;b:1;s:14:”manage_options”;b:1;s:17:”moderate_comments”;b:1;s:17:”manage_categories”;b:1;s:12:”manage_links”;b:1;s:12:”upload_files”;b:1;s:6:”import”;b:1;s:15:”unfiltered_html”;b:1;s:10:”edit_posts”;b:1;s:17:”edit_others_posts”;b:1;s:20:”edit_published_posts”;b:1;s:13:”publish_posts”;b:1;s:10:”edit_pages”;b:1;s:4:”read”;b:1;s:8:”level_10″;b:1;s:7:”level_9″;b:1;s:7:”level_8″;b:1;s:7:”level_7″;b:1;s:7:”level_6″;b:1;s:7:”level_5″;b:1;s:7:”level_4″;b:1;s:7:”level_3″;b:1;s:7:”level_2″;b:1;s:7:”level_1″;b:1;s:7:”level_0″;b:1;}}s:6:”editor”;a:2:{s:4:”name”;s:6:”Editor”;s:12:”capabilities”;a:19:{s:17:”moderate_comments”;b:1;s:17:”manage_categories”;b:1;s:12:”manage_links”;b:1;s:12:”upload_files”;b:1;s:15:”unfiltered_html”;b:1;s:10:”edit_posts”;b:1;s:17:”edit_others_posts”;b:1;s:20:”edit_published_posts”;b:1;s:13:”publish_posts”;b:1;s:10:”edit_pages”;b:1;s:4:”read”;b:1;s:7:”level_7″;b:1;s:7:”level_6″;b:1;s:7:”level_5″;b:1;s:7:”level_4″;b:1;s:7:”level_3″;b:1;s:7:”level_2″;b:1;s:7:”level_1″;b:1;s:7:”level_0″;b:1;}}s:6:”author”;a:2:{s:4:”name”;s:6:”Author”;s:12:”capabilities”;a:8:{s:12:”upload_files”;b:1;s:10:”edit_posts”;b:1;s:20:”edit_published_posts”;b:1;s:13:”publish_posts”;b:1;s:4:”read”;b:1;s:7:”level_2″;b:1;s:7:”level_1″;b:1;s:7:”level_0″;b:1;}}s:11:”contributor”;a:2:{s:4:”name”;s:11:”Contributor”;s:12:”capabilities”;a:4:{s:10:”edit_posts”;b:1;s:4:”read”;b:1;s:7:”level_1″;b:1;s:7:”level_0″;b:1;}}s:10:”subscriber”;a:2:{s:4:”name”;s:10:”Subscriber”;s:12:”capabilities”;a:2:{s:4:”read”;b:1;s:7:”level_0″;b:1;}}}

Once you have made those changes, you should be able to log in to your WP-Admin and manage your blog as normal.

RESOLVED:

This issue has to do with Turck MMCACHE being enabled in PHP. (Check your ‘php.ini’ or ‘php.d/mmcache.ini’ files).

Since part of the PHP loads are performed without some variables set (and then cached), when they are loaded from MMCACHE on the subsequent load, the variables are not present for some of the functions to create the entries in the database.

Disable MMCACHE and flush it, or disable and wait X hours…

pjh, I just wanted to say thank you for your solution (on the previous page). My situation was that I’d renamed my tables and didn’t know I had to modify some of the values. Thanks!

Ok, so the post by KerimFriedman is what led me to the solution of this problem. However my problem was that i migrated the website from windows to Linux host and as you may know Linux is case sensitive. my folders begin with prefix eq_ (lowercase) however if i did

select * from eq_usermeta

the meta_key values would look like this: EQ_user_level and EQ_capabilities. So i changed these from EQ_ to eq_ and everything started working fine for me after that. Here is what i ran:

select * from eq_usermeta;
update eq_usermeta set meta_key = ‘eq_user_level’ where umeta_id = 4;
update eq_usermeta set meta_key = ‘eq_capabilities’ where umeta_id = 5;
select * from eq_usermeta;

Thanks everybody for contributing!
