2. Manually Debugging from the XOOPS database

If you can’t access your site admin, you may need access to your mySQL database using the phpadmin tool to connect your XOOPS database. The table we need to find is called “xoops_config”. Select this table and then click on “browse”. In this table there is a field named conf_name and one of the rows is called “debug_mode”. Change the number of the “conf_value” to”1”. (for phpdebug)

Debug choices available: 0= Off? 1= PHP Debug (normally this one for functional faults and blank pages) 2= MySQL/Blocks Debug 3= Smarty Templates Debug

Error: Selected module does not exist! - Sometimes happens when you install a module and then for some reason you delete it from the modules folder without uninstalling it first from the admin panel. Or the URL in a custom menu is written wrong. Or the modules files did not upload completely.

If when trying to login you are redirected to this error it could be because you had set this now unexisting module as default module for your startpage in admin > preferences > general settings.

When this happens one way to login...in a tricky way, is to: 1)press USER LOGIN in the login form once without putting anything in the form, you will get a page that says Incorrect Login, and then the login form will show again in the center 2) enter your admin access 3) you should now get redirected to your View Account page.

- that is just a strange sort of way of getting logged in and not be redirected to your homepage but to your user account page. Maybe this way it can let you in.

If you're able to get in this way you would have to check what's happening to the module and see what it is you have set to be as your default homepage.

[edit] I forget this: since you disabled all blocks then after getting in just type in the url directly to admin (ex.http://localhost/xoops/admin.php)
