First, my site currently renders just fine.

When I log on to my Control Panel though, I just get raw text, no rendering.

I am on 1.6.8, Build 20091002.

The only change to my system I am aware of is performing a flash upgrade.

Have not tried to access on another machine yet.

Same issues on another machine.

cfp700,

Ok it sounds like your Control Panel is unstyled.
Is the theme folder (themes\cp_themes\default)  folder still present?

Have you got a link to your site. Not login details. Just a link?
If you don’t want to share publicly then just send me a PM

http://www.firenews.net

(I see in the forums that there are some similar weird-isms going on?)

The only folders I have w/in the (*system-name*)/themes folder:

cp_global_images
lg_social_bookmarks
tag_themes

You’re missing a bunch.

See the following screenshot:

might be a good time to upgrade to 1.6.9.

Since my page is rendering fine, assuming by database is OK.

Looks like things got deleted from the server.

Let us know when you get a chance to do so.

OK, so I have upgraded to 1.6.9. Fortunately, the site (http://www.firenews.net) is still serving up properly.

Still having issues trying to get to control panel.

When I go to my site/system/index.php, I get this, which tells me something is still off:

(see jpg attachment)

when I enter the user name and pwd, it goes nowhere.

I get this URL:

http://www.firenews.net/***system***/index.php?S=4e774a37e87a796c2563d766d7566c8fa6550215

What the heck is going on? Now I can’t even get into the control panel.

cfp700, open your config.php file and add

$conf['admin_session_type'] = "s";

Does that get you back in? If so, then take a look at this knowledgebase article.

I added that line, then I referred to the knowledge article.

Now even an unstyled page doesn’t come up. I get a blank page.

Hi cfp700,

Did you move the cp_themes folder as the Knowledge Base article suggests? Do you have an .htaccess file active for your site? Please check and confirm that the folders appear as per the image that Sue posted above?

Cheers

Greg

my themes folder looks as it should, with the exception of the cp_themes folder which was moved into the system folder.

When I enter the url http://www.mysite.com/**control_panel_access**/ it redirects to

http://www.mysite.com/**control_panel_access**/index.php and a blank screen.

Had no luck changing the config.php file.

And yes, I have .htaccess

Here’s my config.php file, with *** replacing certain values for security:

<?php

if ( ! defined('EXT')){
exit('Invalid file request');
}

$conf['app_version'] = "168";
$conf['license_number'] = "****-4371-8909-****";
$conf['debug'] = "1";
$conf['install_lock'] = "1";
$conf['db_hostname'] = "mysql123.hosting.********.net";
$conf['db_username'] = "***";
$conf['db_password'] = "********";
$conf['db_name'] = "***";
$conf['db_type'] = "mysql";
$conf['db_prefix'] = "exp";
$conf['db_conntype'] = "0";
$conf['system_folder'] = "system";
$conf['cp_url'] = "http://firenews.net/***-******/index.php";
$conf['doc_url'] = "http://expressionengine.com/docs/";
$conf['cookie_prefix'] = "";
$conf['is_system_on'] = "y";
$conf['allow_extensions'] = "y";
$conf['multiple_sites_enabled'] = "n";
$conf['tag_module_parse'] = "linebreak";
$conf['tag_module_convert_case'] = "y";
$conf['tag_module_enable_tag_form'] = "y";
?>

Should the ‘system_folder’ value match the ‘cp_url’ value?

Hi cfp700,

Please temporarily disable your .htaccess file rewrites for EE and then move your cp_themes folder back into the themes folder and then try again.

Cheers

Greg

Thanks Greg.

Can you provide a little help on the work on the htaccess file? Not 100% sure where/how to work on it.

Does my config.php file look OK?

Thanks,

Jeff
