CGExtensions crashed my admin

Post by cyberrate »

Hi All,

I wanted to install the Uploads module but it needed the CGExtensions so I installed that and immediately after that my admin looks like a stripped version, with no accessible submenu, I can't do anything under module manager, and Modules page is just plain empty. What is wrong?

Your version of PHP may be too old for this module, FTP to site and remove CGExtensions folder from modules folder and yoyu should be able to see full admin, then check your system info page to see what PHP version, if it's 4.* it's too old...

Thanks a lot mister, it worked!

I actually thought about it my self but I decided to consult with professionals first, it works now.

It leaves me with my initial issue now I want to enable visitors of my site to download files (instructions pdf and doc formats) which I add through admin any way I can do this? I understand that I can't use the Upload module now since it requires CGExtensions.

Cheers

Like I say, check your system info page to see if you need to upgrade your PHP version so you can use the modules you need, if it shows old versions of PHP etc. you can ask your host about upgrading, sometimes they will upgrade it for you or give you a way to do it using a php.ini file or let you do it in .htaccess...
