I have a fresh install of EE with agile_records theme installed. I’m trying to create my own theme so I deleted the global variables and I’m trying to add new ones and new snippets but every time I click “Update” it sends me to the theme’s 404 page and does not save my variables or snippets. When I turned debugging on I noticed that there wasn’t any GET or POST data…. why is that?

I have since narrowed this down a little bit.
I can create a global variable if it has very little content in it. eg. “hello world”
if I put:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html >
<head>
<title>SM New</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<meta name="description" content="Default Description" />
<meta name="keywords" content="keywords here" />
<meta name="robots" content="*" />I get the 404 page.

Hi, Digafex.
When you put just helloworld in the template, nothing else - and you view the page in your browser, what happens?

I see hello world. As soon as I put much more than that I get the 404.

Hi, Digafex.
What did you call your global variable? I’d be tempted to re-install 2.1.3 and not use the Agile theme, and start over. You’d need to create channels, etc, though.

I just reinstalled 2.1.3 with no theme installed. The first thing I did was go to create a global variable called “html_head” with this code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html >
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />This is the exact code from the same global variable that comes with agile_records template.

Do you think this might be happening because i set my system folder above the webroot?
I followed the instructions verbatim in the user_guide for doing this and set the mask as admin.php

any ideas?

Sorry I’m using 2.2.0 not 2.1.3

I also just put the default system folder back in the root with no modifications and reinstalled EE. I still get sent to the themes 404 when I try to create or edit a snippet or global_variable. This is getting stupid.
Can someone just FTP into my site and figure it out in 10 seconds? I paid $300 for this thing and I can’t even edit the stuff like it’s meant to do.
