[solved] Blank admin panels

Destry · 2023-09-15 07:11:53

You may laugh.

I’m still crawling on the woodworking tools project in local dev. For a long time I was using wood.wion.test. As the site evolved over months, then years (heh) it gained a new identity, Wood Right, so I wanted to change to woodright.wion.test to make publishing easier later. That was the thinking, anyway.

There was probably an easier way to do it, but I basically created a new local site (edited the hosts file, created the virtual host block, made a new DB, installed a fresh Txp, walked through setup) and imported a dump from the working wood.wion site. In fact, I didn’t walk through that in the most logical way. I was forgetting to do things like flush, restart apache… and I was having login problems, I think because the first trial I installed the database before finishing setup on the new domain.

Anyway, three questions:

1) Was there an easier way to do that. I mean, all I wanted to do was change ‘wood’ to ‘woodright’ in the domain.

After remembering to bring my custom assets folder over, too (a bit of a scare). I found that while everything is fine on the western front, the admin-side’s Pages, Forms, Styles (not that I’m using that one) panels are completely blank.

2) I think I found the potential culprit being a mix off character encoding (ref 1, ref 2)? Probably happened when I juggled the dump file. Don’t know.

Now I’m not quite sure what’s the direct way to verify/fix that. For example, I was thinking, ‘well, what is the current encoding(s)?’ But I’m not sure where to look. Then I thought ‘Hey, Diagnostics!’, but nope. Seems like a good place to display that kind of info, if possible.

3) What’s the path of least resistance to harmonizing encoding issues?

And bonus: What should encoding be, ideally, for a site in OED English?

Oh, 4.8.8.

I found a ‘Table Information’ box in Sequal Ace. Clicking on each table, it tells me all DB tables are consistently encoded as utf8mb4 (unicode ci). That must have been exported from the other site, which works fine.

So, maybe I have a different problem than encoding? Or is there another layer of encoding to check somewhere?

Yes! Just rename the subdomain in virtualhosts, your config.php and your database Site URL field. Then bounce Apache. That should do the trick.

It is. High diagnostics shows collation. Start there and see if there’s any mismatch.

And update the hosts file, probably.

I knew there would be easier. In fact, I think I tried most of that initially except edit the DB field.

I think I’ll just delete this new site and go back and do that.

Weird. After the .htaccess block is usually all the stuff on collation/character sets. Then custom fields and checksums. I wonder if this means that your .htaccess isn’t readable and it’s bombing out or something. Never seen that before.

Yeah, that too. Good catch.

There are at least three layers, annoyingly.

The table/column collation
The database collation
The connection collation

All three need to be broadly in alignment or you’ll get weirdness.

EDIT: there’s also system/server/database/table/column character sets added to the mix too, which can cause content display issues if not matched. But for the purposes of your admin-side errors, I’d suspect collation issues first. If that yields no joy then dive deeper into character sets.

Missed this, sorry. I’d stick with utf8mb_unicode_ci for collation. And utf8mb for the character set.

My bad. My .htaccess is long, I was just leaving out the custom stuff. I forgot those other details were appended at the bottom.

I think this is what you’re after?

I went back and changed the former domain using the suggested easier way. It was even easier because I already had the hosts file and virtual domain setup at that point. Indeed, the only thing I missed before was changing the path in the DB.

But one thing I also did before was juggle the users table from the new site I had into the old DB because I had forgotten the former login for the admin account and can’t get a reminder because email doesn’t work locally.

So now I have the site up; original (changed) domain using a new admin user login account (from the fresh install, now deleted). The front end is fine, by all appearances.

But I still have the problem with Pages, Forms, Styles not showing anything in admin side. The first two being rather important. I have a feeling this is because of the dumb handling of the exporting/importing of the Users table only, but I’m not sure why that would be.

I have an old dump file with the old admin user record, is it worth trying to edit the DB with that?

Ah okay. Well nothing seems to be up with your collation or character encoding that I can see, so maybe something else is at play.

I can’t see it being anything to do with the users table, as that would prevent you using any back-end functionality. I also don’t see any plugins installed that might interfere with these panels (e.g. rah_flat/etc_flat).

Running out of ideas here. A few things that might help:

Disable your plugins for the sake of it. Just in case. If it makes no difference, enable them again.
Check the Network and Console panels of the browser inspector. See if there are any errors showing that might give us clues.
