SOLVED: can't log in after update to 5.5

Permalink
Hi,

I upgraded - everything went smooth.
I have put the site in maintenance mode before the upgrade - but when I try to log in after the upgrade has finished: Only the message, that the site will be back soon (maintenance) is shown, but no dashboard/bar etc.

I tried Opera and Firefox, same results.

I even tried to set the SITE_MAINTENANCE_MODE in the CONFIG table of the database to 0 by hand - still the same.

Can anyone help please?

Try deleting your cache files from /files/cache

See if that helps.

Same thing happened to me.

What I found is that if you type inwww.www.yoursite.com/dashboard....... gets you in.

You can log in by visiting:
http://www.yoursite.com/dashboard... orhttp://www.yoursite.com/dashboard.php...

Either way should send you to the dashboard...

You can't see the 'Dashboard' link nor the 'Edit Page' link because the site is in Maintenance Mode and thus, doesn't allow front-end editing.

Hi

I was able to access
http://mysite.com/index.php/dashboard...

looks fine. I was able to search (field in upper right) for "maintenance" and turned it of. WHen I go back to the site I see the new bar on top of the page.

When i log out, I am able to log in and I do see the bar on top now.

Thanks.

I tried your trick, Olaf, but it did not work for me.
It is a nasty problem and I hope that some presents a clear solution soon.

Hi

I should probably add, that I have deleted the contents of /files/cache first. Maybe that's a way to go.

Olaf,
Thank you for your reply.
I followed nbardales' advice. I think...
Because it is not clear in what file to put the line of code.
I use a not official theme: emplode on one of my websites. (On another one an official C5 theme works perfectly.)
So I added the line of code in /root of website/themes/emplode/elements/footer.php
I am really not sure whether that's the right place to put nor whether that's the only place to put it.
I would be glad to hear your point of view.
Also deleting the files in the cache made no difference: I can still enter the dashboard through its URL but the edit bar on the pages of the website stays empty.

Do you have another clue?

I turned off the Dutch translation and my edit bar was back.
Next time I will wait untill the update is stable!

I had the same problem with a custom theme. In my case, this line was missing in my footer, it seems that it was not necessary in 5.4:

<?php   Loader::element('footer_required'); ?>

Adding this line solved my problem upgrading to 5.5 from 5.2. Thanks!

Hi!
I have a problem like that. I Updated to 5.6.0.1 and couldn't view my pages. They were empty. I went back to 5.4.2, my previous version, and it work almost Ok, but I can't access to my dashboard, and the home page is impossible to edit.

I use SimpleScripts to admin my instalations under HostMonster.


I'm reading your discussion and went to footer to find something wrong. I have this code:
<?php  defined('C5_EXECUTE') or die("Access Denied."); ?>
<?php 
if ($_GET['_ccm_dashboard_external']) {
   return;
}
?>
   </div>
</div>
</div>
<?php  Loader::element('footer_required', array('disableTrackingCode' => true)); ?>
</body>
</html>


I'm not expert in php :(

Thanks!!!
