I am trying to revive my macmend.com site onto xoops, I kept the DB and have had some luck in putting modules and themes back to the server.

The site is switched off but I switched it on to check some things and have degugging on.

However a number of modules will not let me access the admin area of that module, of particular difficulty are the smart modules, smart partner, smart profile etc.

If the site is off it throws to me to the login page if it is on it brings up the message that I do not have right to access this area.

I have set permissions correctly for groups!

I have htaccess set to only allow general admin access from certain IPs, this seems to work fine.

does anyone have any ideaas

Are the uploads, cache & templates_c folders writable ?

yes they were and i tried and tried to get round this to no avail, in the end I deleted the whole site wiped the db as I think it was corrupt and started again, which is fine, koudanshi transferred my smf forum into cbb and I am running again.
