Blank admin.php after upgrade from 9.0.6.1

I know my signature is weak, thats is all I could find, I am with Startlogic if that helps.

I have read all here I could and have done as much troubleshooting as I could. My problem is a blank admin.php screen after upgrading from 9.0.6 to 9.1.2.1. I went all the way to discarding the install files. Additionally, I ran the two error tests listed in forums. The first test was blank, the second went to the maintenace page.

Note. my server provider made changes I did not have. Also I could not turn maintence page on before upgrade attempt.

Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

Follow the FAQ advice,
dragonflycms.org/FAQ/cat=16.html

I suspect you have a faulty block(s) so,

1. Log into admin.php

2. If you login successfully, the use the following to access and de-activate blocks admin,
admin.php?op=blocks&hideallblocks=1

Pheonix thank you for such a fast response. Following your directions; first admin.php blank, then went to the link you provided, set debug to true, ran update code from phpmyadmin, deleted config_MAIN_CFG.php, ran ourontology.com/admin.php?op=blocks&hideallblocks=1 in browser.

no change at all, admin.php still blank

What theme do you use as default?

directory is labeled HL2 that was the selected theme prior to upgrade from 9.0.6. The defualt and dragonfly theme are still there though. I have laoded a warcraft theme and may have tried to select it when this all happened it did not save to my knowledge.

Thank you again for your help.

hmm, you're having exactly the same issue as another user.
1. run this phpmyadmin query

Code::

UPDATE `cms_config_custom` SET `cfg_value`='default' WHERE `cfg_name` = 'global' AND `cfg_field` = 'Default_Theme';

2. then delete config_MAIN_CFG.php from your website cache folder
3. then get your theme fixed - check for an updated version from the author, or contact the author about an update.

I'm sorry I got the impression you thought this would work, it has not. I still have blank admin.php screen.

Is there away I can reinstall 9.1.2.1 and if so is there any thing special I should consider?

I don't mind some extra work, I would like to save the original db if possible.

Thank You again for your support.

It should have worked Confused

Can you remove (or delete, your choice) the non-core themes from your themes directory of your DF install so that only the default and dragonfly themes remain? This should force your site to use the default theme.

Then run this in phpmyadmin

Code::

UPDATE `cms_config_custom` SET `cfg_value` = '0' `cfg_name` = 'global' AND `cfg_field` = 'maintenance' LIMIT 1;

Then delete config_MAIN_CFG.php from your website cache folder.

You should then at least see your site and get some better idea of the issue.

I completed your latest instructions. Your code generated a syntax error. I inserted WHERE in front of `cfg_name` and it ran, ( not sure if right fix). Deleted config_MAIN_CFG.php, still blank admin screen.

If I go to a clean install:
1. Can I use 9.1.2.1 from (old releases) or are these just patches to run after reinstall 9.0.6.x
2. Will I be able to rehook to original database? ( I have original config.php file).

Thank you again for your help

It would probably help if you weren't trying to run index.html and index.php in the same directory - you can't have it both ways.

i have made a new install of Dragonfly. Everything was OK and after finishing the install procedure I was redirected to Admin area. I could close the admin page and open it again. But after logging out I am not able to log in again.

In Firefox admin.php only displays a blank page. When I tried in Opera I got this error message:

---
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /dragonfly/admin.php on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Other users have the same problem but I have't found any answer that has solved my problem. Also looked i FAQ:s. I have tried different CHMOD for file admin.php.

Anyone out there that can help me with my problem???

Thank You
