[resolved] Textpattern CMS interface stuck on Admin->Preferences->Language

lehan · 2009-04-24 19:36:58

As the title suggests, my interface is behaving strangely. I can log in without trouble, however it defaults to the Admin->Preferences->Language page, and wont load any other pages.

This happened after an attempt to install Textpattern on a subdomain on the same server.

Help! Please!

I just came across another topic about this problem, maybe it helps.

Looks like they’re encountering the same issue I am, but I can’t tell what error is causing it as my site isn’t set to debugging mode.

If I can’t access the Admin->preferences page, what other way can I set it to debugging mode to receive an error message.

Thanks!

If you can make changes directly to the database, you want to change the production_status item in the txp_prefs table to “debug”.

I changed the production status to debug in myPHPadmin. No errors display and the problem still persists.

How is your server handling sub-domains?

There are some servers which require the sub-domain folder to be before the root directory
Others which handle any folder as sub-domain if the user chooses
Whilst others require to point to the sub-domain via htaccess.

If it is the #3, are you sure that your htaccess rule is correct?

It would be number two. I’ve removed the subdomain textpattern install however. This problem is occurring in an install on the top directory of my webserver. It worked without any trouble for over year, until I attempted the second textpattern install.

I’m using the standard .htaccess to allow clean URLS.

Did you also remove the table created by the sub-domain install which i assume that they were in the same db as your root site?

lehan · 2009-04-27 16:31:08

I did, but could there be other data left behind in the DB causing this?

bump

Still stuck on this. Next step is to backup and reinstall I guess.

Or a plugin? You can disable all plugins through phpMyAdmin and check what happens.

I know it’s obvious and the issue has persisted for too long but make sure it is not a cache problem. Did you try connecting using another computer?

Disabling (and subsequently re-enabling) plugins has made matters worse:

the plugins are now reporting widespread errors.
