1.1.3.1 > 1.2.2 admin woes

[wibby]

Hi everyone,

I just upgraded from 1.1.3.1 to 1.2.2 all went fine until i tried to add the picassa web gallery module, my admin section has lost its skin and just showes up as a list running down the left hand side of the screen. oh and the module didnot install either.

The frontend works fine but as I cannot alter the content it is quite important to get this up and running again.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Any help much appreciated

Thanks

I don't know how to fix your gallery installation, but I have managed to install plenty of modules that break my admin interface.

If you can, uninstall the module, and admin will usually go back to normal. If admin is too messed up to do this, FTPing in and changing the name of the directory the module is in will usually "fool" CMSMS into thinking it's gone.

Good luck!

Yeah, thats what I would normally do but it's not showing as installed and that stupid file ftp permisiion thing is happening so I can't delete the files off the server!

There has to be a fix for this ?

Can you still change the name of the directory? You don't need to actually delete the files - if you can change the name of the directory the module is in, it will still "fool" the CMS into thinking it's gone.

Nope... can't do a thing to it

What is your php memory_limit? Perhaps it is too low, if you have a number of modules installed.

You could try adding:

Code: Select all

ini_set("memory_limit", "32M");

near the top of your config.php file, if it's too low (8M).

The picasa web gallery module is incompatible with newer versions of CMS.... don't know why, don't have the time to look.

you need to completely remove this subdirectory from your modules directory.

If you can't..... then do a search on the forum, I've uploaded numerous times a php script that when executed will blast open all permissions of all files in it's directory and everything beneith it to 777

after this is done, you should be able to remove it via ftp.

then you can improve the howto section of the wiki (using your forum account) by publishing this recipe in the documentation. Open source/doc is all about contribution and teamwork.
