Can't access admin panel - help please!

[woomik]

I installed the Ultimate SEO contribution and my site works fine with this.

However, when I try to access my admin. control panel by typing in www.MYSITE.com/admin (which worked fine before SEO installation),

the address automatically changes to www.MYSITE.comdir_ws_http_cataloglogin.php/

and an error comes up saying "Server not found".

 

Help please!

 

If you need any further info. please let me know.

 

Thanks in advance

Hi

Maybe it's just a "band-aid" for your problem:

Knowing that it's a "root" install, this probably isn't a good move:

 

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/catalog/');

[woomik]

Thanks Jim

 

I tried that but get

Fatal error: Call to a member function image() on a non-object in /mounted-storage/home41b/sub002/sc12345-HYDL/MYSITE.com/admin/includes/functions/html_output.php on line 84

 

 

Extract of admin/includes/functions/html_output.php as follows (do you need more?):

 

 

////

// The HTML image wrapper function

function tep_image($src, $alt = '', $width = '', $height = '', $parameters = '') {

// BOF - Modification: Simple Template System

global $sts;

$sts->image($src); // Take image from template folder if exists. <<<<<<<<<------------- LINE 84

// EOF - Modification: Simple Template System

// BOF - Modification: On The Fly Auto Thumbnailer

// if no file exists display the 'no image' file

if (!is_file($src)) {

$src = "images/no_image.jpg";

}

Well count me out.

 

I really don't know squat about STS or SEO URL's.

 

I still believe the root of your problem:

 

the address automatically changes to www.MYSITE.comdir_ws_http_cataloglogin.php/

Is that dir_ws_http_catalog isn't defined.

 

Simon,

 

I wasn't trying to interfere here or "poke holes" in your attempts to help.

 

Please don't take it that way.

ok

 

Can you help me here why has woomik got his MYSITE.com?

in " define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/home41b/sub002/sc12345-HYDL/MYSITE.com');

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/admin/');

define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/home41b/sub002/sc12345-HYDL/MYSITE.com/admin/');

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home41b/sub002/sc12345-HYDL/MYSITE.com/');"

in " define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/home41b/sub002/sc12345-HYDL/MYSITE.com');

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/admin/');

define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/home41b/sub002/sc12345-HYDL/MYSITE.com/admin/');

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home41b/sub002/sc12345-HYDL/MYSITE.com/');"

My admin defines in this area are:

 

  define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', $DOCUMENT_ROOT); // where your pages are located on the server. if $DOCUMENT_ROOT doesnt suit you, replace with your local path. (eg, /usr/local/apache/htdocs)
 define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/admin/');
 define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT . DIR_WS_ADMIN);
 define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
 define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT . DIR_WS_CATALOG);

I think the answer to your question is that if you don't use $DOCUMENT_ROOT you have to use the "local path".

[Guest]

As the site url would be http://MYSITE.com/MYSITE.com/admin/

 

would it not?

[germ]

I don't believe so because that's not part of the problem.

 

Configure defines that begin with DIR_FS_ generally apply to paths on the server (File System), where as defines that begin with DIR_WS_ apply to paths used in the web browser (Web System).

 

None of these:

 

define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/home41b/sub002/sc12345-HYDL/MYSITE.com');
define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/admin/');
define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/home41b/sub002/sc12345-HYDL/MYSITE.com/admin/');
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home41b/sub002/sc12345-HYDL/MYSITE.com/');"

Would cause this duplication in the browser:

 

http://MYSITE.com/MYSITE.com/admin/

 

At least I don't think so.

[Guest]

ok I see.

 

could it be then that

 

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/catalog/'); is defined and but as you say the dir_ws_http_catalog is not or is caps read the same?

[germ]

Anything such as this not being defined:

 

  define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/');

Comes out originally as caps in the browser, but they get altered to lower case and I think womik copy/pasted from the browser address window AFTER he got the "Page cannot be found" error.

 

Try it in your browser.

 

If you type in WWW.GOOGLE.COM it gets translated to http://www.google.com/

 

At least it does in my browser window (IE7)
