Drupal - The all Important User Zero

Fri, 12 Oct 2007 10:33:07 +1000

A while back, I came across a "duplicate entry" problem that resulted
from a missing row in my drupal table 'users'.

It turns out that the users table is not the only one that requires
information on "user 0" (aka "anonymous"). This can be caused by
a bug (fixed in CVS) in user deletion. When an admin deletes a user,
accidentally goes back to the confirmation screen and confirms
deletion again, uid 0 is gone. The same happens when two admins
try to delete a user at the same time.

This week I came across another problem in which anonymous
users get a "you are not authorized ..." message when trying to
view any sort of content.

If you find yourself having trouble accessing content or using your
site as an anonymous user, or seeing N/A appearing in the place
of articles you can safely run the following queries against your
Drupal DB (4.6/4.7):

Its architect, Blaise Aguera y Arcas, shows it off in this standing-ovation demo. Curious about that speck in corner? Dive into a freefall and watch as the speck becomes a gargoyle. With an unpleasant grimace. And an ant-sized chip in its lower left molar. "Perhaps the most amazing demo I've seen this year," wrote Ethan Zuckerman, after TED2007. Indeed, Photosynth might utterly transform the way we manipulate and experience digital images.
