Test upgrade v1.2.6 - 1.3.6 admin will not open

[martyndw2005]

Hi,

I am doing an upgrade of http://www.beeunique.co.uk to http://www.beeunique/alttest/

However when i try to access admin by going to http://www.beeunique.co.uk/alttest/admin

It just freezes up on status bar when it is full, i left it overnight and it does not show an error message at all it does not refresh the page.

*Actions taken so far*

A. Searched the faqs and found there is an article on "I can't login to admin"

I have tried the following steps as suggested:-

1. Renamed .htaccess in the admin folder
2. Tried clearing cache and cookies and looking from browser. Not sure where to check error log to determine any errors at the time.
3. HTTPS address in configure.php files seems to be correct,
https://www.beeunique.co.uk/
I am not sure really.

B. Tried searching in forums and can`t find anymore information on this.

C: Checked details in both configures files were correct.

When i transfered across files from 1.3.6 apart from the configure.php (which was merged using winmerge) and the latest version of mods (how did you hear of us , column layout grid - I did have nochex mod install on http://www.beeunique.co.uk however there does not seem to be a current version of that payment system) i did not change the admin area.



I still have the problem any ideas what i can do next?

Please please help

Tried to fix by reuploading files.

This did not fix the fault..

I then used firefox to try and get into admin and got an error message this might help someone resolve this for me..

ERROR

The page isn't redirecting properly

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

* This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept
cookies.

Help still not sure what has gone wrong.

please help

Remove the trailing slash from:

define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://www.beeunique.co.uk/');

Thankyou that fixed the problem

however now I get this at the top of the admin screen

// separators for meta tag definitions // Define Primary Section Output define('PRIMARY_SECTION', ' : '); // Define Secondary Section Output define('SECONDARY_SECTION', ' - '); // Define Tertiary Section Output define('TERTIARY_SECTION', ', '); // Define divider ... usually just a space or a comma plus a space define('METATAGS_DIVIDER', ' '); // Define which pages to tell robots/spiders not to index // This is generally used for account-management pages or typical SSL pages, and usually doesn't need to be touched. define('ROBOTS_PAGES_TO_SKIP','login,logoff,create_account,account,account_edit, account_history,account_history_info,account_newsletters,account_notifications,a ccount_password,address_book,advanced_search,advanced_search_result,checkout_suc cess,checkout_process,checkout_shipping,checkout_payment,checkout_confirmation,c ookie_usage,create_account_success,contact_us,download,download_timeout,customer s_authorization,down_for_maintenance,password_forgotten,time_out,unsubscribe'); // favicon setting // There is usually NO need to enable this unless you wish to specify a path and/or a different filename // define('FAVICON','favicon.ico'); ?>

this looks like the matatag.php file how do i get rid of it please thanks for your help so far

[martyndw2005]

Hi,

The reason it was showing my metatags in admin and front page in text was that the metagtags files has had several items added to it since the version I was upgrading , which would not have been a problem but and I must have merged an extra ?> i removed it and everything worked as normal no metatag.php file displayed at top of site. This might be useful if someone else finds this problem.

regards

Martyn

Thanks very much for posting the solution ... little things like that can really reek havoc on the code ... but it is nice to know another possible error to watch for that a quick delete of a wrong closing can fix in 2 seconds ...
