ionCube problems - empty page when I visit it, I do not see the dashboard, no way to login

Permalink
Hi,

I tried to install ionCube to be able to install some script. Unfortunately there was some problems... now I have empty page when I visit it, I do not see the dashboard, no way to login. Nothing. I'm wondering how to fix it. I'm sure that i won't be able to do it by myself. I guess there is no magic button to validate and repair something in the concrete...

It is a one week work on my project and maybe it will be faster to make it again from the begin. But there is a question, is there some way to export text's from concrete files (my pages) that I wrote? It would be a good start.

Thanks a lot.
Michael

Hi brk,

Did you try uninstalling ionCube?

You could try making a full file and database backup of your concrete5 site, then see if you can restore from it.

If the majority of your site content was added using the Content block, you could export the contents of the btContentLocal database table using PHPMyAdmin.

Thank you MrKDilkington,
But I'm just wonder in which file there is what I wrote, where are files of pages I have created with text? Somewhere they had to be, they did not dissapeared :)
For me important is just a text and possibiluty to somehow open it in txt file or export to any possibility to copy/read.

Like I created page "contact":
and it was on my-domain.com/index.php/contact
how can I find this page or how can I see what was inside of that page? inside I mean only what I wrote, not the whole code :)

Thanks!

concrete5 (and most other CMSs) don't work like that. They store info about what goes on each page in a database, rather than creating a file for each page. That's why MrK suggested looking in the database.

Another outside possibility would be to look in concrete5's application/files/cache folder for previously-constructed versions of the page. However, this shouldn't work if you had caching disabled (as you should have done, for deverpment) and would take a lot of sifting. MrK's idea is the most direct solution, assuming you can't get your site running.

Thanks guys. I searched in the database and I found what I needed :)
