admin browse error
Hi,

I have a brand new installation of Glinks (someone installed it for me). Before getting too far, I wanted to change the main folder from /links to /directory. So I changed the build_root_url/path, and the build_static_url/path accordingly. I also moved the /static folder from /links to /directory on my server.

My problem is that now the browse function in admin brings up a 500 error. Also, I can add new categories, but I can't delete categories.

Thank in advance,
Terri Z

Hi,

If its a fresh install, and no data yet - I would just delete it all, and re-install where you want it working :)

Its not as simple as just renaming folders and changing the build root, as there are a lot more paths involved now, and also js and CSS files, which will mess up with a move.

Hope that helps.

Cheers

Yep -- fresh install (it's the one you just did for me Wink)

You make it sound so easy! Maybe I'll just order another install from you...I'll email you shortly.

Peace,

Hi,

Ah, didn't realize it was you <G>

Shoot over an email, with details of which folder you want it in - and FTP details (I don't keep FTP details, for security reasons :)), and I'll get that done for you. No need to re-pay =)

Re: [Andy] admin browse error In reply to
Thanks Andy for the reinstall.

But I'm still getting an error. I figured out that
a) clicking on the triangle expands the list of categories
b) clicking on the folder is supposed to bring up a browse window (and a list of links if there are any in that category).
(I'm not sure which I was clicking on before!)

However...clicking on the folder is still not bringing up that browse window -- I'm getting a 500 error. And I can't delete categories. And I haven't done anything except browse the categories and add one link. :(

Anyone have any ideas?? (maybe I should submit a support ticket?)

Thanks,
Terri Z

a clarification of what I mean when I say I can't delete categories...I'm clicking on Database, then searching for my category, then clicking the Delete Category button at the bottom. I don't get an error message per se, what I get is "0 record(s) were deleted."

Well, darn it, I didn't see it way up there! Yep that solved my "delete categories" problem. Thanks Matthias!

Still hoping for a solution to the Browse problem Crazy

=) I was just about to say the same thing (I think that really, the checkbox should be aligned to the top of the cell, to avoid confusion - as even when you know its there, its still quite hard to find Tongue

I still can't see the problem :/

Going into the admin panel - clicking on Browse, and it loads fine.

Then, click on the triangle (or folder), and both work fine :/

Thanks, Andy.

Now I've narrowed it down -- admin/browse works for me in IE but not in Firefox. Anyone know of some setting in FireFox that would cause this? Anyone else using FireFox?

My FireFox is up-to-date...I just checked.

Peace,
Terri Z

Hi terriz,
I'm using firefox without problems. Perhaps you have to check your safety settings

Hi,

From communications via email, I've advised uninstalling and re-installing FireFox. Apparently she's been having problems with some other pages/ sites too, so it sounds like it could be a problem in her copy of FireFox. Hopefully that will sort it, as it works perfect in IE and FF for me.

Cheers

Re: [Andy] admin browse error In reply to
Well, the plot thickens Pirate

I have three computers equipped with FireFox, Windows XP, Norton Antivirus installed. The admin>browse error occurs on 2 of them. I've uninstalled and reinstalled FF multiple times, deactivated /removed add-ons, etc., to no avail. So I'm still searching for an answer.

I have narrowed down the source of the error -- the frame that is trying to be loaded is mydomain.com/admin.cgi -- but the correct link is mydomain.com/cgi-bin/links/admin/admin.cgi. I have no clue why or what browser setting would cause the link being loaded in a frame to be altered!!

This only happens (that I know of!) in the admin>browser function. Is there something different about the browser function vs. other admin functions? I'm grasping at straws here.

Thanks,
Terri Z

Think you forgot to upload :) (may be easier to email it, in case it has URLs/other details you don't want to show publicly :))
