I found my issue. In admin/includes/header.php there is the following:
PHP Code:
$lines = @file(NEW_VERSION_CHECKUP_URL);
For some reason this is hanging or crashing on my server. I did some testing and for a few minutes it was working when attempting to retrieve a local URL, but even that went away. I am checking with my webhost, but I am not holding my breath.
This is part of a Zen-Cart version check when you log in as an admin. Inititally I commented out this line and that solved my immediate issue. I later changed the following in the "configuration" table as it appears to be a better solution:
SHOW_VERSION_UPDATE_IN_HEADER - false
This can also be changed via the admin login
- Configuration->My Store->Show if version update available
but if you can't login, then you can't change this :-) It was probably possible to go directly to the URL though I didn't know until after I was done:
- http://yourhost.tld/admin/configuration.php?gID=1
Hope this helps someone else.
