Please refer to this thread: http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/219220/
The situation on the production side is exactly the same - only the directories have changed from cwc_test and ana_test to cwc and ana.

As I noted at the end, I thought the problem “healed” itself when I accepted the changes to the index.php file on the control panel when I was testing EE2.5.2 upgrade. I updated the production system this morning, and I have the same problem.  I thought if I forced the control panel to recognize that the index.php file had been changed again, I would get the message, click Accept and everything would be alright.  But, not…

What else could it have been?  I am really nervous about hoping for divine intervention on the production side!  Suggestion on what I can do?

Hello deecee,

I am sorry to hear you are running into this problem.

This is really strange.

Can you make sure that you have the configuration files set up similar to this example setup? I just want to rule out the basics first. Sometimes it’s something small and overlooked.

//CONFIG//
$config['cp_url'] = "http://engine.dev/admin.php";
$config['doc_url'] = "http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/";
$config['is_system_on'] = "y";
$config['allow_extensions'] = "y";
$config['site_label'] = "Test 23";
$config['cookie_prefix'] = "";
$config['multiple_sites_enabled'] = "y";

index.php and admin.php site 1
NO CHANGES

index.php and admin.php site 2
$system_path = '../system';
/*---------------------------*/
$assign_to_config['site_name']  = 'msm_test';
$assign_to_config['cp_url'] = 'http://msm.dev/admin.php';
$assign_to_config['site_url'] = 'http://msm.dev';

--- admin ---
$system_path = '../system';
/*---------------------------*/
$assign_to_config['site_name']  = 'msm_test';
$assign_to_config['cp_url'] = 'http://msm.dev/admin.php';

Please let me know if this points out anything.

Cheers,

I had $config[‘allow_extensions’] = “n”;
I have changed it and updated it.

I did not have
$config[‘site_label’] = “Test 23”; (but in the control panel when I edit the site, it has the correct value)

I have added allow extensions.  The index and admin files look to be correct.

I looks like the site is ok now.  Thank you!

Question: the Updating from Previous Version instructions say to restore the config file from backup.  Is this file not changed/added to from version to version?  As an extra precaution, should it be reviewed with what is in the version download?  I am pretty sure that I have not changed allow_extensions.  Should I add it to config even if it is ok in the cp?

Hey deecee,

Awesome!

As long as you are updating within the same major version, those files will not change. But if you were to upgrade from 1.X to 2.X then those files would be different. So no worries. As long as you follow the directions you will be good to go!

I would add it to the config file. Anything in the config file will override whatever is in the Control Panel.

Does that makes sense?

Cheers,
