moduleinterface.php error after moving to a new server

[websupportguy]

Hi, I have just moved a solid working site (Ver 1.2.4 "Greenland") to a new server. Everything seems to work OK except that I can't get the news module to work in the admin area.

When I try to add or edit news, I get a javascript error in the footer that says "Line 56, Char 3, Error: Object required, Code: 0, URL: http://www.[mysite].com/admin/moduleinterface.php?module=News". I am running news module version 2.7 and it was working OK before I moved the site.

The effect of this error is that only the tabs show and nothing happens when I click on them.

I am running "neat URLs" using the internal functions (not mod_rewrite as originally posted).

Also, I am getting a "//" after the domain name, which I cannot track down. I know it must be a configuration setting somewhere, but I cannot find it.

Any help appreciated. Tony

// in url is set in config at the top is base url like this...

#-------------
#Path Settings
#-------------

#Document root as seen from the webserver.  No slash at the end
#If page is requested with https use https as root url
#e.g. http://blah.com
$config['root_url'] = 'http://multiintech.com';      is coming from here...

Thanks, I knew that one would be something blindingly stupid and obvious, but I just couldn't see it.

Any thoughts about the module interface error? Also happens when accessing some other modules from the admin interface, so I am suspecting a permissions issue or a missing link to a system file or similar.

You may want to recheck the permissions on the module folder...
