I was running 3.1 with Mysql 4.1 on an older server. I bought a new
better server, and decided to migrate Roller and upgrade it.
I successfully migrated roller (was able to run 3.1 just fine), but
after the 4.0 upgrade, I'm having problems.
The upgrade is partially successful; I can access my blog as an
anonymous user. However, when I log in, I get:
Permission Denied
Possible causes:
You requested a weblog entry that you do not have permission to edit
(perhaps one you've already submitted for review?).
You tried to save an object from "stale" web page, left by an earlier
login under a different user account.
You logged in using incorrect capitalization of your username. To
resolve this problem, logout and login again with your correct username.
Your blog server's database connection is misconfigured. To resolve
this problem, see your system administrator.
The URL which is generating this page is: http://wittle.net:8080/roller/roller-ui/menu.rol
, which as far as I know is the general UI for administering my blog.
I get the same permission denied results when I log in as the admin
user, but the URL is different. My regular blog URL (http://wittle.net:8080/roller/ericw/
) works regardless of whether I'm logged in or not, or which account
I'm logged in with.
I cannot see anything interesting in the log file. (The last line in
the roller.log file is recording that it is initializing the Velocity
Rendering Engine, and this message is > 10 minutes old).
I doubt that this problem is any of the first three possibilities
listed above, and I can't find any details on the fourth item. It
seems unlikely the connection itself is misconfigured; if so how would
Roller be able to display the main view?
I'm looking for help on how to triage this further. My database has
been upgraded from the 1.X series of Roller, and I've had problems in
the past where old content in the DB has caused problems with newer
releases. I'm also running mysql 5.X on the new system, and was
running 4.1 on the old system.
Any help taking the next step in triage would be appreciated.
