Yes, but it is just an empty folder…

Is there in fact a directory called ‘centertemplate’ where the txpath indicates?

What seems to be happening is that when you try to log in, the public-side index.php is loading instead.

You didn’t by any chance move index.php files around?

Must be some kind of link or alias in it, I would guess. Or an .htaccess file. Are you using an FTP view that shows invisible files?

Possibly; yes.

Is there a way to append the index.file to correct the problem…?

Possibly, but this is a guess. On line 20 of the admin-side index.php file (!!!EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT YOU HAVE THE CORRECT INDEX.PHP FILE!!!), which reads:

        define("txpath", dirname(__FILE__));

replace dirname(__FILE__) with the full txpath, hence:

        define("txpath", ‘/home/serling/public_html/centertemplate/textpattern’);

Again, I am guessing, and this is a hack-ish approach to take.

Please post the full contents of the /textpattern/index.php file. Pretty clearly you are using a modified version of it.

And don’t panic. The site is still there; we’ll figure this out. I know, it’s missing the sidebar. jpcache may be involved.

My mistake — I keep getting confused by the twin textpattern directories. What I want to see is the index.php inside the inner textpattern directory, the one that that also contains include, lib, etc.

But you may want to try commenting out the include './jpcache line. Just be ready to change it back in case this does anything to the public side. I don’t see how it could, but just in case.

Sorry, i missed this question you asked.

Yes, i am able to see all the invisible files, and can see otehrs like the .htaccess files in various folders but the centertamplate folder is indeed completely empty.

What URL were you originally using to log in to the admin side? Was it in fact the public URL + textpattern? I’m thinking it wasn’t, and that there must be some kind of extra DNS redirection going on here. Do you have access to the web hosting account control panel?
