Hit there,
I logged in this morning as an Admin to my site, and surprisingly, I could not find the “System Admin” icon for the web site?!?! I can see all other icons to the left except this one? Did someone toke it overnight…;)

Any advice how to bring it back?

Ooops, sorry, I meant to give it back when I was done, honest!

Try this thread:
https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&topic_id=12671&forum=3

I found this with the "search" function that XOOPS has kindly provided

Hi Stewdio:
I followed the instruction word by word, but no luck!

I need to access the group folders directly to update the webmaster permissions to fix this issue (that was recommended on the post that you provide me)

When I tried to go to:
http://www.yoursite.com/modules/system/admin.php?fct=groups

-I used my web site name instead of "www.yoursite.com", I’m not that stupid..:)-

and that's what I got:
"File Not Found "

Any advice?

to be honest it sounds as though either file permisions are wrong or the installation has gone wrong. Check permisions first and then if all else fails, try reinstalling xoops.

Stewdio:
Would this link work for XOOPS v2.0.1? May be this is the problem.

I have another installation on a different domain, I'm running X2.0.6, I used the below link after updating my web site address and it works!

http://www.yoursite.com/modules/system/admin.php?fct=groups

Would that help?

cuckston: Are you serious? I hope you can see my face now, I'm almost crying..:(

What happened?! all what I did is trying to update the webmaster's group permissions, and I pressed update/submit without making any changes!!

You canm't be serious? no, no , you are absolutely kidding. Don’t you?

Guys, HEEEEEEELP!

Turn on php and sql debug if you can and post the result here. This can be done through phpMyAdmin as well, but I can't remember where the post is for that.

Most XOOPS versions apart from the latest do not default to adding checkmarks to the "System Admin" rights in the webmasters group. You don't need to make any changes, just click "update" without filling in the checkmarks and your system admin rights will vanish--this is a common problem.

This no checkmarks thing is fixed in the latest version I understand. I see you have recently moved your site and upgraded from another version? Looks like your "groups" system is operating the "old no checkmarks way" despite your upgrade.

The given solution in stewedo's post is the fix, and it worked for all the others who had the same problem. The "file not found" error looks like a path problem to me. The above path is searching for "admin.php" in your modules/system folder.

You could check the admin.php in your modules/system folder is not corrupted, and no files/folders are missing in the system folder--check the "groups" folder for example.

Paths are defined in mainfile.php in the root of Xoops, check for no trailing slashes etc (you may know this already)
