I downloaded the XOOPS files and data from the production server to my pc (Windows XP SP2, IIS). I set up MySQL and php 5. Changed mainfile to point to localhost and started hacking away!
First thing i did was to upgrade my installation from 2.0.13.2 to 2.0.16 using the upgrade script provided here at xoops.org.
After that I noticed that I couldnt log on. I traced the problem to the facth that include/checklogon.php uses $HTTP_POST_VARS instead of $_POST so I used a mass text replacer to replace $HTTP_POST_VARS with $_POST on all the files in my installation.
That fixed the problem so I got to get into the administration section of the site.
Here comes the problem that has me stumped...
I am using the XOOPS News module and although when I visit it from the user's point of view, all my old news (from the production server) appear fine, in the test server when I visit the post/edit news in the admin section I get the list of topics and bellow it (where the form for posting new news is supposed to be) I get "Access Denied".
I have tried turning debug mode on but I cant see anything obvious being wrong!
Other modules (such as downloads) display the forms correctly...
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

****************
I forgot to mention that I set security on all files of the site to Everyone:Full Control
Here's the thing I get instead of the form:
Post New Article
Access Denied
