Update of 5/14 wiped out cpanel top menu

[flashdiva]

I posted a bit ago, under the Category organizing thread. But I really need some help... when I log in, it is as usual with the cpanel menu bar at the top. For all of the functions, all is well. But when I navigate to one of my three categories, the menu bar disappears.

If I click anywhere from the category pages, the menu bar is then also gone.

I have a shortcut to the Login page, in my hard drive folder for the domain. If I then drag and drop that shortcut on the browser, the cpanel menu shows up again. I therefore am not logged out. The menu bar has simply disappeared.... caused by clicking to the category pages. But then it also makes all subsequent clicks to have NO cpanel menu.

All work has ground to a halt. NOT happy. :eek:

A comment first: That blue bar is not cpanel, is just store admin panel. If you call t cpanel you may create some confusion. Cpanel is the host admin interface.

Now, that issue happends on some hosts that need a less common rule in htaccess... I think i have posted about it before but anyway.

You need to go to ftp, open the htaccess for edit, look for line [COLOR="DarkRed"]RewriteRule (.+) $1/ [R,L][/COLOR] and edit that to [COLOR="#8b0000"]RewriteRule (.+) $1/ [L][/COLOR] (basically remove the R,). Save that changes and will work.

First, let me say thank you thank you! This fixed it immediately.

I didn't mean to cause any confusion. I just didn't know what else to call it.

I looked but didn't find anything similar. But I am accumulating my own library of PDFs, saved from the forums. I title them: SS_abc-topic.pdf, CS_abc-topic.pdf, etc. and keep them all in one folder. And put the actual URL at the top of the first page. There is a LOT of info here that just isn't found in manuals and even in the videos. I watched the "update" video... and at the end, there wasn't anything about the last direction in your Forum page, RE: Upload and overwrite /adodb/ folder inside /common/ folder root. I didn't watch a second time, so maybe I just missed it.... but if folks only follow the video, I am pretty sure there will be problems, with the adodb folder.

Omar, thank you so much... this has been a kind of steep learning curve. Smarty and a few other things are very new to me.
