Yikes... trying to get to admin pages does scary things

[wakewatcher]

All of a sudden (since yesterday) when I try to go to my admin page i.e.  (www.mycmsmadesimple.com/admin) using Chrome I get a "Error 320 (net::ERR_INVALID_RESPONSE): Unknown error." and worse yet on FF or IE I actually get the browser offering to download www.mycmsmadesimple.com/admin/index.php!  My site is very simple and I just use it for simple content and it still seems to work but I can't get to the admin page.  I'm the only one with an login to this instance of CMS.  I'm guessing/hoping this isn't a cmsmadesimple problem and am hopeful someone can tell me what I broke.  Thanks.

I cannot get to the site, is your server down or having problems?

I have the same problem with logging in to my site admin panel.

I've managed to find out that the problem was caused byu the following line in admin/index.php script:

Code: Select all

$txt = @file_get_contents($url);

The $url script was trying to get is defined in include.php in root folder of cmsms:

Code: Select all

define('CMS_DEFAULT_VERSIONCHECK_URL','http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/latest_version.php');

A we can see the notice on site header, the dev server is down.

So the problem can temporarily be solved by commenting out the line in admin/index.php

Pishkus: It is working this morning.  But I (think) I understand what you are pointing out.  I find it very odd that the design of cmcms is such that when the dev server is down that it inhibits administration from all of our production sites.
