The group table does not contain the Anonymous group. Solution.

[tobia71]

Hello guys,
I have seen that somebody has some troubles when upgrade the sw to 15 version from old 14.

Sometime appears "The group table does not contain the Anonymous group."

That's because you have edit new config.inc.php file with your db informations.
It is not correct!

You must hold old config.inc.php and not delete it re-editing the new one.

The old file contains row

// MySQL TABLE NAMES PREFIX
$CONFIG['TABLE_PREFIX'] =                'cpg14x_';

The new file contains row

// MySQL TABLE NAMES PREFIX
$CONFIG['TABLE_PREFIX'] =                'cpg15x_';

The update not correct this and you can have some fault updating DB...

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. So the whole trouble only exists because of people don't read the upgrade docs.

Thanks Andrè!

I had the same fault but mine is just only a tentative to see what happened changed new config file.

The message was "The group table does not contain the Anonymous group".



I have deleted the new one file and replace with old config file and..... everything work perfectly!



Have a nice day, guys!

I have this same exact problem, and this suggestion does not fix the issue.

When I use my old config.inc.php that has the correct information in it, I still get the same error message.

Any other ideas on how to fix this problem?

Please search the board for that error message. There are already a lot of suggestions how this error can/may be fixed.
