Topic: Admin page not coming up
Hello,
I am unable to access the Administration section of my board. I can access any other area, and I can do some of the admin functions (such as deleting users...).
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Re: Admin page not coming up
is the admin_index.php file still in your directory?
Re: Admin page not coming up
Yes.

What do you mean by "unable to access"?

Re: Admin page not coming up
It just times out... it never begins to load the page. But I can still access any of the other pages on the forum...
Re: Admin page not coming up
Try re-uploading the admin scripts. Maybe one of them is corrupt or something.
Can you access e.g. admin_forums.php?

Re: Admin page not coming up
I can access all admin_*.php files except for admin_index.php. I'll try uploading that file again..
Re: Admin page not coming up
Okay, I just uploaded that file again... still no go...
Re: Admin page not coming up
Try this (I'm just guessing, really)
FIND
// Get the server load averages (if possible)
if (@file_exists('/proc/loadavg') && is_readable('/proc/loadavg'))
{
// We use @ just in case
$fh = @fopen('/proc/loadavg', 'r');
$load_averages = @fread($fh, 64);
@fclose($fh);
$load_averages = @explode(' ', $load_averages);
$server_load = isset($load_averages[2]) ? $load_averages[0].' '.$load_averages[1].' '.$load_averages[2] : 'Not available';
}
else if (!in_array(PHP_OS, array('WINNT', 'WIN32')) && preg_match('/averages?: ([0-9\.]+),[\s]+([0-9\.]+),[\s]+([0-9\.]+)/i', @exec('uptime'), $load_averages))
$server_load = $load_averages[1].' '.$load_averages[2].' '.$load_averages[3];
else
$server_load = 'Not available';REPLACE WITH
// Get the server load averages (if possible)
$server_load = 'Not available';Note that this isn't a real "solution", I just want to see if that's the issue

Re: Admin page not coming up
Okay Smartys, I just tested your theory, and it now actually generates the page.
So any idea why that part isn't working?
Re: Admin page not coming up
Well, lets find out 
Create a file called test.php
Insert the following contents:
if (file_exists('/proc/loadavg'))
echo "The file exists";
if (is_readable('/proc/loadavg'))
echo "We can read the file";Then visit the page and paste exactly what comes out
Re: Admin page not coming up
Okay, just tried that and here is what it does.... It does load the page, but it is empty. View source shows that the page is empty as well...
Re: Admin page not coming up
This must be a bug in PHP. What PHP version are you running? Under what operating system?
"Programming is like sex: one mistake and you have to support it for the rest of your life."
Re: Admin page not coming up
FreeBSD 5.2.1 with PHP 4.4.0 and MySQL 4.0.18
Re: Admin page not coming up
Try the two checks Smartys posted individually. Do they both fail or is it just file_exists or is_readable?
Also, have a look in your apache error_log. Maybe there's something in there.
"Programming is like sex: one mistake and you have to support it for the rest of your life."
Re: Admin page not coming up
Neither one works individually...
No errors in error_log that are recent or relevant.
Re: Admin page not coming up
Check your phpinfo. Tell me the value of display_errors
Re: Admin page not coming up
Ok, one more check. What does the following PHP script output:
<?php
if (file_exists('/proc/loadavg'))
echo 'yes';
else
echo 'no';
?>"Programming is like sex: one mistake and you have to support it for the rest of your life."
Re: Admin page not coming up
Smartys: display_errors is On
Rickard: It outputs "no"
Re: Admin page not coming up
OK, check the value of safe_mode
Re: Admin page not coming up
safe_mode is Off
Re: Admin page not coming up
OK, try this script
var_export(file_exists('/proc/loadavg'))
var_export(is_readable('/proc/loadavg'))Re: Admin page not coming up
falsefalse

Re: Admin page not coming up
OK, run this in a test file then
var_export(preg_match('/averages?: ([0-9\.]+),[\s]+([0-9\.]+),[\s]+([0-9\.]+)/i', @exec('uptime'), $load_averages))Re: Admin page not coming up
It's still attempting to connect... I think it's just going to time out...
With this, where is $load_averages defined?
