Admin Bar Not Showing after fixing SEF URLS

Permalink
Hi All

I have had a few issues going live and sorting SEF URLS. To solve this I found in another post that adding

cgi.fix_pathinfo = 0

to my php.ini file as suggested at a post on the C5 boards has fixed my redirect issue.

However I now cannot login to the CMS backend. As in, I can bring up the login page and enter details however it redirects me to my homepage where I would normally see a toolbar but I dont see anything (although the toolbar is spaced for as the margins are different)

I am on linux servers with Kualo who are generally fantastic. They dont think there is an htaccess file (i have done as per the site instructions). It all worked fine without SEF URLS and then its now disappeared.

any ideas would be great

Thanks

Hi All

Hoping you can take a minute to help me out as really stuck here.

I basically got5 as far as listed above. I have now diasbled all SEF URLS and returned the php.ini and htaccess files to their original state but still my menu bar does not return. The dashboard is still accessible by typing in the URL.

I have checked for a javascript error and cannot find a conflict (I disabled all my theme js files)

On examining the site output I do get the buffer area at the top of the page for the toolbar but no toolbar itself. I think however the culprit might be this which I can see in firebug but have no idea what it means is going wrong:

<script src="/index.php/tools/required/page_controls_menu_js?cID=1&cvID=&btask=&ts=1307360239" type="text/javascript">
Failed to load source for: http://www.mywebsite.co.uk/index.php/tools/required/page_controls_menu_js?cID=1&cvID=&btask=&ts=1307360239
</script>


I did change the site config to update the path from a staging site to a live site by editing the config file - although this didnt correlate with this problem

I have looked for the missing js file and if you take all the stuff off the end so its just menu_jas the file seems to be there.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

Right - I have no idea what happened but I ended up hard-coding that javascript file into my header and now it works. I am sure this is far from optimal but in place of anything more intellgent I have done this and am pretty chuffed.

I have absolutely no idea why this has happened though, i wonder what file went weird. Oh well.
