CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi,

I've had an MLE install up and running since January. It worked a treat and the client only needed English so I renamed the content_name_XX for each language in the database. This meant that the foreign language content is still there but not read at the moment.

So I've now changed it back and all the content is there as I can see it in the preview. My config_lang.php is set up for each language and you can modify the content within the CMS as expected.

However whenever I try to change the menu title or add a new one, nothing happens. It says "content updated" but when I check the page it's not changed.

Furthermore I get a 404 Not Found - The requested URL was not found on this server. when I try to access the foreign language pages... this used to work.

At this point I should point out that the server the site was on crashed and all content was migrated to a new server. At the moment its running on

MySQL 5.0.45
PHP 5.2.5

Before it was running on MySQL 4.1.x, PHP 5.2.x - I also had to install a cgi script to relax permissions for php.

As a test I set up a new language (nl_NL) entry as per the instructions, reset config_lang.php to use en_US and nl_NL and tested the site. Again the content updates can be seen in the preview but the menus do not work and I get the 404 error.

I'd really appreciate any help/advice on what might be causing this. The obvious is the change in MYSQL from 4 > 5, could this be it? Or the php binary hasnt been installed on migration?
Thanks

No, I used MLE on MySQL 3.X ... (apart UTF8 problems)

Your DB is OK: menu_text_XX are ok?

I had similar problem on server with mod_security very closed

Okay, thats good to know and one potential eliminated.

Yep as follows: menu_text_en, menu_text_it, menu_text_fr, menu_text_es, menu_text_de.

These are partially populated too because it used to work and I wanted to test them back in January, the issue now is they wont update, change and I cant add any new ones.

I reckon this could be the issue, due to the migration the script isnt installed and/or the .htaccess isnt set up correctly... although why the en_US works really is confusing  I've got my server provider looking into it just now...

Post your config_lang.php and SQL structure (only) of cms_content table

Alby, thanks very much for your time, and of course it was not an issue with CMS Made Simple MLE but a server issue. Because the previous server crashed they moved the entire site to a new machine but didnt let me know the new login address.

Therefore I was logging into the old database and changing tables there with no effect They are going to wipe the old server and I'm going to change my bookmarks for the database!!!

Thanks again, sorry to take up your time. I'll be posting a link to the site once it's live as a showcase for all your hard work.
