Trying to delete my blog draft, I get the access denied message.

Found a delete button on the drafted blog, clicking the "Physically Remove Message" option resulted in:

Anisha Kaul, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

Help.

Is this a blog you're hosting yourself or is it a blog you access through the internet? More information is needed. If the blog resides on your own computer, check out chmod to allow yourself privs to delete, but before that, there is a command to list the privs on any file. Or it could simply be a matter of su to root to gain privs. Again, have no idea without more information.

Isn't it obvious that she's referring to her LQ blog?

I'm getting this same message. I made a test case entry specifically for it; I just gave it a title and some basic content, and when I tried the "Physically delete message" option, it took me to the "you don't have permission to access this" page. Of course, picking the "Do not delete message" option does exactly as it's supposed to.

Now I'm stuck with a useless blog post draft, too…

How about reading the name of the forum in which the question has been posted?
