I've updated our Vanilla Forums from 2.1.10 to 2.2, and now I get a "Sorry, permission denied" message if I try to log in (as admin). If I register as a new user, I don't have the issue at all.

I've worked through the trouble shooting guide, with no luck, and I came across this seemingly related thread. Still, I don't understand what would cause this error. Is it something in the config.php file or something in the database that needs to be updated?

Additional Information

  • I've tried the default forum skin.
  • I've tried disabling all the plugins.
  • I've found that the config.php file seems to have the old info (because the version number is wrong).
  • The PHP version is fine.
  • I couldn't find the gdn_permission table in the database. What creates this? Can I build and populate it myself?
  • When I disabled the Yaga application, I was able to log in.

  • In the end, the problem was Yaga. I don't know why this caused the problem though, so my question remains. The following [tutorial](http://vanillaforums.org/discussion/31153/tutorial-a-fool-proof-way-to-do-a-vanilla-upgrade-from-2-1-to-2-2) is very helpful for anyone doing the update. – Captain Phoenix Dec 05 '15 at 00:32

I know that the 2.2 upgrade changes the way passwords are stored. Perhaps the issue is related to how existing passwords are now being stored?

It's worth checking - did you run /utility/update when upgrading? If not, that might explain the issue.

  • I did run '/utility/update' a number of times. Anyone know why Garden.SignIn.Allow in permissions is often refered to in the help for this issue? – Captain Phoenix Nov 27 '15 at 13:37
