Admin section only stay on language setting after update

Zittzewitz · 2015-08-20 18:45:30

Hello

After I made a update of my textpattern installation i will stay at the language settings. there is no possibility to activate any navigation. It´s still like freezed. There´s no installation dir left. But when I delete the update folder (/textpattern/textpattern/update I am able to navigate into the admin area. But then I see some error outputs above the admin section.

Is there anybody who can help me? Sorry for my bad english.

Hi, Herr Zittzewitz, and welcome to the Textpattern forum. Since you won’t be able to access the Diagnostics panel and there make sure that all files have been replaced during the update, you’ll have to do that manually or by synchronising with the FTP application(s) of your choice. I found that exactly synchronising seems to be the weak spot of FTP applications and always do it twice with two different applications.

Ah, one more thing. Can’t tell whether that caused your trouble, but better do so: Log out of the admin side before applying the update.

Hello Uli

thank you for your response. I made it again and now i can reach the admin area.

But there is another problem now.

Like I sad, I can reach the admin section now. But the homepage is not available now.

When I go to the debugging section I will get this Information:

/mnt/webq/c1/65/5566265/htdocs/kamineundwein/textpattern/textpattern/setup/ noch vorhanden. Bitte lschen! ?

Einige Textpattern-Dateien sind nicht aktuell:
/mnt/webq/c1/65/5566265/htdocs/kamineundwein/textpattern/css.php ?

Sie verwenden Dateien aus dem Entwicklungsbereich in einer Live-Umgebung!:

Can you help me again please?

Try uploading the textpattern/css.php and textpattern/index.php files again and remove the /setup dir.

uli · 2015-08-21 15:17:07

I’m getting config.php is missing or corrupt. when I visit your home page. Make sure you have that file in your textpattern folder. If you have it in a subfolder named textpattern, put it in the subfolder’s textpattern folder (i.e. beside folders called include, lib, lang etc.), remember to fill it in correctly with the information you’re given/asked during installation. Then try again.

Edit: Yeah, of course also what Ruud says.

I’m a little confused about these different paths. Do you have two textpattern folders nested into one another? Maybe caused by installing twice, i.e. installing and then selecting the wrong folder for the synchronisation? Or did you intentionally install in a subfolder named textpattern?

Thank you both very much.

I did what you told me. The config.php file is there and the data inside is correct.

I´ve deleted the setup folder.

My config.php is:

<?php

	/**
	 *  mysql database
	 */
		$txpcfg['db'] = 'DB929059';

	/**
	 *  database login name
	 */
		$txpcfg['user'] = 'user name removed';

	/**
	 *  database password
	 */
		$txpcfg['pass'] = 'Here I putted in my password';

	/**
	 *  database host
	 */

		$txpcfg['host'] = 'rdbms.strato.de';

	/**
	 *  table prefix (Use ONLY if you require multiple installs in one db)
	 */

		$txpcfg['table_prefix'] = '';

	/**
	 *  full server path to textpattern dir (no slash at end)
	 */

		$txpcfg['txpath'] = '/mnt/web8/23/65/5566265/htdocs/kamineundwein/textpattern/textpattern';

	/**
	 *  DB Connection Charset, only for MySQL4.1 and up. Must be equal to the Table-Charset.
	 */

		$txpcfg['dbcharset'] = 'latin1';

	/**
	 *  optional: database client flags as needed (@see http://www.php.net/manual/function.mysql-connect.php)
	 */

	#	$txpcfg['client_flags'] = MYSQL_CLIENT_SSL | MYSQL_CLIENT_COMPRESS;

	/**
	 *  optional, advanced: http address of the site serving images
	 *  @see http://forum.textpattern.com/viewtopic.php?id=34493
	 */

	# define('ihu', 'http://static.example.com/');

Just my two discoveries for others to jump in, cause I’ve no idea what’s odd there, but there’s something definitely odd:

Visiting http://www.kamineundwein.de I get “config.php is missing or corrupt”
Visiting no www, i.e. http://kamineundwein.de I’m redirected to the admin side.

Could it be a option zu make a clean install and write the database data back after it?

Is it possible to put an existing database on a new installation? And is it tricky normaly?

Zittzewitz · 2015-08-21 16:00:46

I think maybe I have a problem with my .htaccess

I have one in my root directory and another one in the installation directory of textpattern.

Zittzewitz · 2015-08-21 16:09:17

@uli

Yes. The installation of textpattern is into a subfolder.

I couldn´t remember why we did it like that.

Is it a problem. The installation worked well the last years.

But now I have these problems.

ruud · 2015-08-21 16:30:30

Try changing

$txpcfg['txpath'] = '/mnt/web8/23/65/5566265/htdocs/kamineundwein/textpattern/textpattern';

into

$txpcfg['txpath'] = '/mnt/web8/23/65/5566265/htdocs/kamineundwein/textpattern';

That is possible and shouldn’t cause any problems, but you should make sure that you specify the charset as latin1 when you create the config.php file.
Before you do it, create a backup not only of the database, but also of the files you uploaded.
Having said that, it shouldn’t be necessary to start from scratch.

You normally should only have a .htaccess file in the root directory

Yes. The installation of textpattern is into a subfolder.

It’s unusual, especially since the admin interface can be reached at http://www.kamineundwein.de/textpattern/. I had expected that it was reachable under http://www.kamineundwein.de/textpattern/textpattern

GugUser · 2015-08-21 18:05:37

What’s the content of your .htaccess file?

Zittzewitz · 2015-08-23 11:32:36

Thank you very much. It looks like I´ve got it. I made a clean install on a other part of our web server. I think one of the problems was, that we putted it on a subfolder (textpattern/textpattern)

Also some of the links was set static.

Now the most work should be done and in the future we should have a clean installation of textpattern, more likely in future updating process.

Thanks all of you for the help.

Last thing: We need a WYSIWYG Plugin for the authors. Which is best one in your opinion?

Thx a lot
