[support] Changes Not Saved When Updating /admin/user/access

[Shai Gluskin]

Hi Folks,

I'm running Drupal 5.12 on an install running PHP 5 and MySQL 5. I don't
have any node access modules installed.

Problem: When I'm at example.com/admin/user/access and I make changes
(checking or unchecking permissions), upon submit --- nothing happens.
Permissions remain as they were before. The Drupal-set-message for this
page, "Your changes have been saved" -- does *not* appear. Drupal doesn't
report any errors.

Note that other operations at the install such as adding/editing/deleting
nodes as well as changing configuration stettings for other modules -- are
all working (or I should say, I haven't found others that are having
problems affecting the db.

What I've done so far:

* clear all caches
* rebuild node permissions
* "repair" and "optimize" all tables in the DB
* restart MySQL on the server

None of those did anything.

I'm stumped, any ideas?

In the meantime, I've figured out how to change permissions directly in the
db by editing the "perm" field in the "permission" table. There is 1 row for
each role. You just add (or remove) the name of the permission separated by
a comma. Is there anything I need to worry about setting permissions this
way?

Thanks,

Shai
