Big Problem with Admin- lost control

[thdt98]

I have quite a bit crash with my site.

 

I had some problem with Header Tag Controller but I though it was not too dangerous.

This afternoon the admin went funny, I could not reach the tool menu and I could not use more than one language.

I tried several time to put back a backup without any success.

The backup works fine on my computer.

 

 

I removed the admin protection for now to allow people to test if they find anything wrong

cgi.tandcandy.force9.co.uk

 

I am stuck !!!

 

Thanks

[Guest]

you just have some problems with where you programmed, so go back into the footer, unless you edited it somewhere else, and reverse what you did. that is a simple problem.

[thdt98]

Thanks John

 

I repaired it but it is not the main problem, the footer was corrupted, I do not know why.

I cannot log in, eventhough the database has got the accounts stored.

If I select japanese I go back to english each time.

 

I do not know why the admin has got problem as well.

May be I should start again from scratch and adding the modification step by step ?

 

Still in the dark

The following part

 

I decided to start a fresh

At the moment I have only admin on line.

Just one language installed.

 

Problem:

- I cannot select in the left pull down menu, I have got the configuration part accessible.

- The files are from a working admin that I use in my PC (localhost).

- I uploaded the working database as well.

 

Any idea because I am desperate and it started to be late in UK, all day spent on that.

[Guest]

post your configure.php files here without the database info

[thdt98]

Thanks again John

I joined my configure.php below

It should be something like that because eventhough the site was running quite alright I had always some little glitch.

[Guest]

you still need this one filled in:

 

define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', '');

 

to: define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'cgi.tandcandy.force9.co.uk');

[thdt98]

I have done it but nothing has changed I still cannot select all information in the left window just only the titles therefore I cannot access to all fonction.

If you have time could you have a go in my site ?

 

I joine the modified file it should be ok unless a mistake.

 

Thanks

[Guest]

change the second line to:

 

define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://cgi.tandcandy.force9.co.uk');

[thdt98]

Thanks

 

It works

John you are great, I owe you one.

I will stop there, tomorrow I have to wake up early to gohunting for some antique with my beloved. ( I try to do this site for her and it takes more time than expected)

It would be great to have explained somewhere

in detail for newbie what is require in configure.php and why.

 

Re thanks

 

Thierry

[thdt98]

Just before going to bed I thought about something.

Below my configure.php for the catalog

Could you have a look at it just to be sure that nothing is missing

 

Thanks again

Good night
