Cannot access admin after upgrade...

When I got to admin login area on site -
all I get is:

Warning: main(includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/editors_list.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /data/in/w/xxx/www/joomla/cart/admin/includes/init_includes/init_languages.php on line 40

could it be that there is NO editors_list.php in this directory? :unsure:

You might want to investigate the permissions settings on that folder/file in your admin area ...

Hey Doc:

There is NO editors_list.php in this directory - so the permissions have
nothing to do with it -:sleepy:

Oddly there are only 31 lines of code in init_languages.php!

Hmmmm.. :lol:

Re: Cannot access admin after upgrade...

  1. This has nothing to do with init_languages. The error has to do with the editors_list.php file.

  2. when running from the admin, the working path is /admin ... even if the error message doesn't include the word /admin/

So ... check the permissions on this folder:

/admin/includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/editors_list.php

Re: Cannot access admin after upgrade...

That's defined in /admin/includes/functions/general.php

You can find these things using the Developer's Toolkit.

Yes ... that would be a problem :eek:

It sounds like you have some files that didn't upload properly. If the function file doesn't contain all the code it is expected to contain, then you'll get unpredictable errors.

When things are not working as expected, I use this approach:
http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.php/Troubleshoot_-_Diagnosing_Obscure_Issues

  • full file-compare
  • upload incomplete/mismatched files

Much as I do not want to - I am going to create a new
directory and upload all the files again and
slowly move over my "pertinent" files.

I really appreciate your responses on this. :D

Re: Cannot access admin after upgrade...

Solution:

Created new directory -
Uploaded the new distribution.
Configured for old database (which had been updated)
Transfered template and image files.
Voila.

Fixed.
