admin blank after upgrade from 2.3.3b to 2.4.3

after all the upgrade which i was notified successful,

tried login to the site it was all ok.
but when login to the admin.php.
the site went blank.

tried to troubleshoot, I disable the protector module through the database directly and it then I can login to my admin.

and I can't see the protector module at all from my admin. it also gives a weird and uncompleted load looks of the admin when I load the admin page like the image below

Resized Image

what do I do now? how should I uninstall / reinstall a installed protector which is not visible from the admin?


*update* after some module update.
i enabled the protector from the database again. and tried to login to admin.php. it showed

"Registry not found"

just extra information. i have 2 protector folder. one in the module section and another one in the trusted path side. is that correct?




Other Question:

do i need to include these 2 lines back into mainfile.php after the upgrade ?

include XOOPS_TRUST_PATH.'/modules/protector/include/precheck.inc.php' ;

include XOOPS_TRUST_PATH.'/modules/protector/include/postcheck.inc.php' ;

Correct. Just make sure that there are no other protector directories. Sometimes people have one in their "old" trusted path, and then they have it in /xoops_lib that they copied as part of the XOOPS Update. Make sure that the content of /xoops_lib is in your "trusted path" folder

No, in 2.4.3 there is no need for it anymore (please read release/installation instructions about it)

Sorry, I haven't seen this alert

In this topic, user said that problem cames from bad mainfile.php configuration : here

So, I believe you have to check path (withou trailing slash), especially root_path wich goes to xoops_lib

i redo my mainfile.php by using the mainfile.dist.php from 2.4.3 but still doesn't work either.


// Physical path to the XOOPS documents (served) directory WITHOUT trailing slash
define("XOOPS_ROOT_PATH", "/home/xxx/domains/xxxdomain.com/public_html");

// For forward compatibility
// Physical path to the XOOPS library directory WITHOUT trailing slash
define("XOOPS_PATH", "/home/xxx/domains/xxxdomain/xoops_lib");
// Physical path to the XOOPS datafiles (writable) directory WITHOUT trailing slash
define("XOOPS_VAR_PATH", "/home/xxx/domains/xxxdomain/xoops_data");

what else can i do?

Do the file check (see release notes).
(If the xxops_lib and xoops_data files are listed as error, make temporary a copy from xoops_lib and xoops_data (from the server) to /public_html/)

Are the directories in good order (having eg /home/xxx/domains/xxxdomain.com/public_html/mainfile.php and /home/xxx/domains/xxxdomain/xoops_lib/modules/protector/xoops_version.php)?

You have also the definition of
define("XOOPS_TRUST_PATH", XOOPS_PATH);
in mainfile.php?

already had the trusted path defined in mainfile.php.
now i can access the admin with the protector turned on.
but the module pages in admin still turn out weird and protector is no where to be seen.

I think i willl try to reinstall the upgrade.

Can i delete the stuff in the xoops_cache, smarty_complile and smart_cache? in the trusted path?

I see alot of forum uploads files from inside XOOPS cache. are those just cache files?

still unable to login to admin with protector.

i download XOOPS full package and replace the necessary files. checksum verified all the files are correct.

can XOOPS 2.4.3 run without protector? if so, can i remove protector clean from the site? and make a fresh install of protector?

how do i do that?
