Bouncing to Admin Home

[bunyip]

I saw this problem on a site where the latest admin security patch had been improperly installed - the file admin/includes/functions/html_output.php had not been replaced with the new one. Updating that file with the one from the security patch fixed the problem immediately.

Thank you. Apparently I missed that file when I uploaded the patch.

I am having the same problem. Just started today.

I am also with Dreamhost.

I uploaded the html_output patches yesterday. I just double checked the two files with WinMerge and the patch files are indeed identical to the ones I ftp'd yesterday.

Everything esle in the admin panel works...just can't update ANYTHING via the config menus.

I had this exact same problem. Again, I would echo comment about checking the patch install. Because the admin html_output.php already exists in the system, it is easy to see it there and assume that you have already uploaded it instead of overwriting it. I blindly reinstalled (and overwrote) each of the five files in the patch and the non sticking data issue disappeared. Oh ... I logged out of the admin and re-logged after the patch reinstall. Worked fine then.

5 files?
I only see:
admin/includes/function/html_output.php and
includes/function/html_output.php

1. Re-read the "IMPORTANT NOTE" section of the patch announcement: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=130161

2. Re-read the documentation supplied inside the zip file about how to install the patch.

Thank you for the reply.

It seems I was swimming against the current.

I applied the v138_2009_0619 patch (5 files) in June when it came out, and while I was still in v1.3.7. Also followed all the other security recommendations.

I upgraded to 1.3.8 this week. Yesterday I diligently (so I thought) went through all the known bugs list and applied all the changes, including the two zip files for admin and includes html_output.php.

Which would explain why everything was working yesterday and not today.

OY

I just re-edited the wayward html_output file in admin/incl/functions on my test localhost site and that has rectified the config problem. So now I will apply the same changes to livesite. Fingers crossed.

A thousand thankyous.
