The same happened to me......all of a sudden the admin didn't work anymore. Everybody with adminrights ended up from one day on another within this adminsection entering loop.
No file like an adminmenu. It completely disappeared.
The loop this is the first time you enter.....started endlessly.
Whatever I did nothing has solved this problem.
- Did a fresh install and dropped the backupped sql files within the fresh install. Problem not solved.
- Tried to reinstall a XOOPS over the excisting. Problem not solved.
- dropped an old adminmenu.php file within the cache. This gave me entering to the admin, BUT, none of my admin handlings where saved. Caused by the fact it couldn't be written to the adminmenu.php file (ALL chmod settings were ok!) which is needed. It simply didn't regenerate a new adminmenu.php.
- Deactivated Norton completely. Problem not solved. (also others, who don't have Norton installed but had module admin rights, couldn't enter the admin section anymore.)
This admin loop problem problem has absolutely nothing to do with firewalls, norton or what-so-ever. It is definately a bug within XOOPS as of: 2.0.9x up to 2.0.10
All on all, I ended up with a totally remake of the complete website. (fresh install and put all its content piece by piece and by hand, back) I can only hope and pray this won't happen again.
