[solved] Problem with admin page after upgrade to 9.3

[Dizfunkshunal]

- modules/coppermine/albums/userpics/

You have to chmodd all 4 folders.

Example: you have 4 doors in a row you have to go through all of them
Modules folders is door 1
coppermine is door 2
albums is door 3
userpics is door 4

ok so you got to go through all 4 doors to get to the pictures inside userpics(door 4). Well chmod userpics 755 unlocks door 4 but if you dont unlock doors 1,2, and 3 you cant get to door 4.


Im tired so i hope that makes since lol

Needs to clarify something, you previously said you gave 700 the above directories.

Did you really chmod 700 or was a mistake when you posted here? You might meant 755 ...

html instructions

modules/coppermine/albums
modules/coppermine/albums/userpics
uploads/avatars
uploads/forums

So basically ONLY if you used 700:
you need to undo what you may have done, double check everything, change permissions accordingly and double check again just in case.

diz you wrong, with the following bits representation only you can write into the last directory
/x/x/x/xw

Oops, it was a typo. I did not mean to write 700, i actually meant to write 777 because i tried 755 and that did not work. Sorry about that people.
Thank you for the breakdown Diz.

So the current update is that i asked my host to restore a backup of my modules folder, which got most of my site running back again but most of my modules seems like they need to be re installed and when i click on the install button from the modules panel, i get an error message i hate so much

Quote::

You tried to access this page through a bad link

So of my pages cant be accessed due to the modules deactivation like my main page which is the downloads.

I have also attached images to further explain my predicament.

Issue is partially solved.

9.3 was correctly installed.
A highly customized module using exit() on the wrong conditions and dozens of other inexplicable code issues were found and fixed.
Mixy panic and backups where installed.
At this point was a big mess.

More or less, chronologically or not thats what happened.

Website is now in perfect conditions but he cannot login as admin using Safari on Mac. Stay tuned for more infos

Well said Nano, thanks for all your help and patience with me.
You are the best.

Thanks

Hi,
Still trying to get my site back to where it was before the crisis.
I used to be able to embed a player in the text box area cos i had the options of embedding flash, mp3, youtube videos with the top options but now i cant find those options.I know this is a small fix, i just cant remember what module or feature i used back then.
I have attached a screen shot of what am talking about. The options i mentioned above are missing from the screenshot.
Help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

It sounds like you had a bbcode hack and it was lost between restoring backups and upgrading.
