i suspect that it is really a data problem that was somehow masked by the access method.
what that error means is that there is a record that references an auth_group record with id of 1 - but that record does not exist. i would suggest you either re-create the group with ID of 1 or find all auth_membership rows that refer to it and delete it, and then things will work again. good luck! cfh On Wednesday, January 2, 2013 5:38:47 PM UTC-8, dr_eeves wrote: > > Hi, > > I have been developing a web application using web2py.
