Hi

I installed the default plain site and deleted all the sections to define new ones. But now, when I try to access a page the system asks me to login.

- I have placed all pages into sections.
- I have added the "content" read permission to the anonymous role without restrictions.
- The role Anonymous contains the Anonymous Group which contains the Anonymous User.

Still I can't see pages as anonymous user. I obviously don't understand the rights management. Can anyone tell me the necessary steps to make a site within a section browsable by all?

Hi,

I don't know much but one suggestion I have is, did you clear the cache after you made the changes?

This helped me with a similar problem.

May not be the right answer but it may help.

Pardon me while I burst into flames...

Christoph check the following:

1. under your siteaccess make sure "requirelogin" is set to false.
2. under permissions make sure that you have a permission for: user>login>standard section (all sections that anonymous users should have

Hi

How can I get to user>login>standard section? I don't find login in the user tab.

Anyway I could solve the problem in giving the anonymous group all rights. This means that the read right for content is not enough. I now have to find which module needs to be activated with it to work properly.

Is there a way to have a look which modules get used in a page similar to the template debug views?
