No pages showing in admin>content>pages [SOLVED]

[davids355]

I am running cmsmadesimple 1.7 (recent upgrade).

Everything was working fine until a few days ago, when suddenly, when logged in to the admin section, under content>pages,

there is nothing - no pages show at all.

I have tried restoring a backup of the file structure - and this sorts the problem - however, the only suitable backup I have was taken before the upgrade - and so when I load those files, front end users stops working - I do have a db backup as well, but dont really want to do this restore as I've made some important changes since then...

Anyone have any ideas how to troubleshoot this issue??

Thanks

Oh yes, and dont ask me why I tried this, but if I rename CGExtensions module directory (so it cant be found) the all the pages show up - and obviously I have an error saying it cant find cgextensions...

Hi davids355,

What is your System Information? Perhaps a copy of it in here...
Any yellow ! or red X there?

Try to increase PHP_Memory_Limit in config.php:

Code: Select all

# If you are experiencing propblems with php memory limit errors, then you may
# want to try enabling and/or adjusting this setting.
# Note: Your server may not allow the application to override memory limits.
$config['php_memory_limit'] = '64M';

Yes that fixed the problem!! (increasing the memory limit).

I sorted a few other issues out while I was checking that information page.

However, do you know what this means:
PHP Open Basedir (open_basedir):  /hiddenforsecurity.../httpdocs:/tmp

on the information page there is an exclamation mark next to this, but cant find what is wrong...??

Serverside settings, you have probably no access to change this. 
If you have any problems, you can try to change the permissions of the tmp folder to 777.
Perhaps you have Safe Mode set On... (should be Off)

I made the tmp directory 777.

Still shows an exclamation mark - doesnt matter though as Im not having any problems - I do have access to all settings - 1and1root server:).

Anyway, thanks for your help!!!

Just got to sort some backup issues now - because I have about 40 days of backups but when I went to test them, 3/4 of them dont work!!!
