after moving database some dashboard pages got missing 404

Permalink
I had to restore the database from backup and downgrade to 5.2.2.
The front end looks all right. I can edit most of the content,
but the dashboard is totally destroyed. For example:
If i click on Systems I got front end page with Page not Found.
If I click on Blocks or Extend I got dashboard with sidebar, but no functionality just gray background.
I can still see the Sitemap, Files and Pages dashboard pages.

I was testing the files and tried to replace the core, but it doesn't work for me live.

I created new instance of C5 on localhost and tried to import the database and I got the same think.

Are there some tables that causes this?
Because it must be the database that causes the errors.

I suspect you have a version mix up between the code and the database.

The URL you posted appears to be generated by c5.4.2.2, not c5.2.2 ( or c5.5.2, which I expect you actually meant to write).

When restoring the database, you need to ensure the last line of config/site specifies the same version of concrete5 and the update location it is installed at.

Hi John...yes. My mystake.

The Live Concrete5 is 5.4.2.2 (that's what's written just bellow the top nav bar)
The localhost is running 5.4.2.2 too.

There is nothing regarding the concrete version in the site.php.
<?php 
define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost');
define('DB_USERNAME', '***');
define('DB_PASSWORD', '***');
define('DB_DATABASE', '***');
define('BASE_URL', 'http://www.duffhouse.org.uk');
define('DIR_REL', '');
define('PASSWORD_SALT', '***');
?>

isn't there any way to control the version directly from the database?

I am assuming that you initially tried to upgrade through the usual updates directory (as opposed to copying over the /concrete directory). Please correct me if this assumption is wrong as it will completely skew any advice I or others provide.

Have a look in your /updates/ directory and see what concrete5 versions have been installed as updates. It may be that you have actually regressed code too far for the database version.

There were some big dashboard changes between 5.4.2.2 and 5.5, so the symptoms you are experiencing of dashboard pages being non-existent or distorted are typical of database and code versions not matching between these versions.

You can also double-check the site version at:
yoursite.com/index.php/dashboard/system/environment/info/

Or even unformatted at:
yoursite.com/index.php/dashboard/system/environment/info/get_environment_info/

Hi John,

The backup I had to use was from other developer. I have no clue how they upgraded the concrete core.

The dashboard I'm seeing is the grey old style from 5.4.2.2
The two links you sent me don't work... first shows empty dashboard and the second shows page not found.

Is it possible that I still have the database from the new installation and the files from old one.

Is there any way to find what core is the database set to?
Or downgrade the database to fit the current version?

Just checked and on 5.4.x the page with environment info is at /dashboard/settings/set_developer/ and /dashboard/settings/get_environment_info/

Hi ... sorry our sites (duffhouse included) have been hacked.
It took some time to clean it out.

The same error for this link page not found
