[quote=Ajeh;961634]First, look in the /cache directory ... do you see any debug logs for the Admin?

Sort them in order by date and see what they read, the current by date first ...

It sounds like you have a bad, corrupt, missing or duplicate file ...

NOTE: these are auto loading directories and backup files will attempt to load and break things ...

Once you see the right Panel again ... Stop! ...

Next steps ... go to Modules ... Payment ... and edit any module installed and save the settings to NotePad ... these are about to be wiped out ...

I have received the following error messages in the debug utility.
v1.3.9h
[15-Nov-2010 17:32:03] PHP Warning: htmlspecialchars() expects at most 3 parameters, 4 given in
/home/*/public_html/MYSTORE/adminnew/includes/functions/general.php on line 39
[16-Nov-2010 17:20:06] same
[17-Nov-2010 11:49:37] same
[18-Nov-2010 11:26:23] same

I replaced the file to check for corruption above with the original file from v1.3.8 full set.
PHP Warning: htmlspecialchars() expects at most 3 parameters, 4 given in
/home/*/public_html/MYSTORE/adminnew/includes/functions/general.php on line 39

The error disappeared

I did the same with other files in the debug utility and replaced with v138 files

/MYSTORE/adminnew/includes/modules/product/collect_info.php on line 412
/MYSTORE/adminnew/includes/modules/product/collect_info.php on line 299
/MYSTORE/adminnew/includes/modules/product/collect_info.php on line 433
and
/MYSTORE/includes/modules/create_account.php on line 391

Result errors disappeared. GREAT!

The final error message;
[15-Nov-2010 17:33:43] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in
/home/*/public_html/MYSTORE/includes/languages/english/modules/payment/paypal.php on line 24

Replacing the file did not work.

In my admin>modules>payment there is still no option to install the modules, but they are all still listed.
If I click on any of the modules nothing happens but the error message generated from debug utility is;
MYSTORE/includes/languages/english/modules/payment/paypal.php on line 24

This is still a in a test upgrade folder to work out these issues. Every thing seems to work fine create account, checkout, email confirmation etc... accept for the payment modules.
Thanks so much for your help.
