Admin area is broken.

[Yvette]

When I go to the admin area, I get a browser error page that says it can't find the server at mywebsite.comdir_ws_adminindex.php and when I click on the subfolders under Catalog, I get the same message but with the subcategory .php file, such as: mywebsite.comdir_ws_adminmanufacturers.php.

 

I can see that these files exist in the Admin folder from the Control Panel.

 

 

Also, I don't know if this is related, I will post a separate topic for it, but several button gifs are also missing. I'm not sure where they're supposed to be and don't know where to look. The ones that are missing are Buy Now, the Flag icons in the Languages box, from inside Cart Contents area- Continue Shopping, Checkout and Update Cart. There may be others I haven't noticed.

 

Prior to this, I edited the configure.php file, but it didn't fix what I was trying to do, so I changed it back to what it was originally. Could that have changed files elsewhere causing the existing problem?

 

I would GREATLY appreciate any assistance with this! Thanks!

I,m not sure if this is helpful to your or not, due to my issues not having been the exact same as yours, but ... last night I had attempted to edit something in a file, it didnt' work, I put the original codes back in from the backup that I had made. When I refreshed my screen, I had a blank page showing.

 

As it turns out, all I had to do was name the re-file that was on the server to config.php.bak & then upload my backed up original copy as config.php (if you use Text Document to write your files on the PC, make sure you save it in Unicode format and put the .php extension after the file name.

 

I hope your fix is easy

Post your configure.php file, let's rule that out first.

can't find the server at mywebsite.comdir_ws_adminindex.php

From the error you posted I'd say you've lost your definition for DIR_WS_ADMIN in your admin configure file.

 

Mine is defined as such:

 

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

Yours may need to be different.

It's weird because the define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/admin/'); wasn't in there originally and the website worked just fine then. I edited it because we would get that warning about not being able to do backups, which I have since learned from the advice on here that it's okay because it's better to do backups through the control panel, anyway.

 

So, the 3 lines I added are in bold.

 

I've since taken them out.

 

Also, when I put define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/admin/') back in, our custom 404 error page page comes up, but when it is taken out the browser's error comes up.
