Admin Page Gone!

[weeziesmith]

I'm using the lastest version of zen cart. I have just gone to my admin page to log in and continue adding products and all I get is a blank page, no message errors etc...just a blank page.

Any idea what has happened, I haven't touched the admin.php file, the only thing I changed was the met_tags.php to remove the Zen Cart! words

I'm at a complete loss as to what to do, all and any help will be greatly appreciated.

Read this tutorial please..

1. looks like you have messed up the meta_tag.php
2. replace with an orginial and should fix
3. Then reedit it correctly and load on your server..

Thank you for that, it's done the trick, apparently I had messed up the meta_tag file. It's all working now.

How do I get rid of the "Zen cart! The Art of e-commerce" from appearing on my title bar? Because that is what I was trying to do when I messed it up!

This has just happened to me and my latest debug file gives this message

[26-Apr-2011 12:47:19] PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class base in /home2/irishisb/public_html/irishartonline/includes/classes/class.base.php on line 17

The website is http://www.irish-art-online.com using latest XenCart version

@seeziesmith,
Here is a copy of the meta_tags.php

  define('HOME_PAGE_TITLE', ''); // usually best left blank


// EZ-Pages meta-tags.  Follow this pattern for all ez-pages for which you desire custom metatags. Replace the # with ezpage id.

//  define('FAVICON','favicon.ico');

?>

If using the override file system place this file here with your changes..
includes/ languages/ english/ your_template_name/ meta_tags.php
There are the two lines you need to change:

define('TITLE', 'Zen Cart!');

// Site Tagline
define('SITE_TAGLINE', 'The Art of E-commerce');

1. notice the highlighted font above in red
2. change red only and leave the single quotes around the wording 'blaaa blaaa blaaa'

This title is the only thing I can find close to my problem HELP! I did some revisions on products and now am missing my home page. It comes up with "TOP" now.. so just bypasses my nice home page and goes right into a category. background... I copied a category into a category with products and think that messed up things. I've searched here but don't really know what to search on other than Top and Home Page.

Version 1.3.9
Problem: White screen on login/no login info

I took my shop offline to do a back up & restore on the database to set different permissions. I modified the configure.php file for the new PW and DB info and when I tried to log in to admin, I get a white screen.

I recopied the old version of the configure file back to the server but no change (the old db is still there). White screen, no log in screen. (I even copied the file back again on the off chance it didn't transfer properly per the tutorial info.)

Then I found these posts and looked in the error log, replaced the metatags.php and no I get this:

[29-Aug-2011 15:58:07] PHP Warning: require(DIR_FS_CATALOG_LANGUAGESenglish/meta_tags.php) [<a href='function.require'>function.require</a>]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in xxxxxxxxxxxxx/store/admin/includes/languages/english.php on line 54
[29-Aug-2011 15:58:07] PHP Fatal error: require() [<a href='function.require'>function.require</a>]: Failed opening required 'DIR_FS_CATALOG_LANGUAGESenglish/meta_tags.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/php5/lib/php') in xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/store/admin/includes/languages/english.php on line 54

How do these things get changed? How do I fix it?

Thanks for your help

Your configure.php file is damaged, which is preventing DIR_FS_CATALOG_LANGUAGES from getting set properly, and thus you're getting incorrect calls to require(DIR_FS_CATALOG_LANGUAGESenglish/meta_tags.php)

[LindeeG]

I replaced the configure.php files with backups that were previously working. Is there something specific I can look for?
