Magento

Hello. I have upgrade to 1.1 and when I try to access admin section I get this error :

Any ideas???

I am also looking for solution to this. I have read previous thread to this and it just said in Magento Downloader maker sure all installations from ‘magento-core/Mage_All_Latest’ are successful.

I did this, but still do not have access to admin.

Can you please try to refresh the cache (i.e. remove var/cache directory) ?
Does it help ?

i just did a fresh upgraded to 1.1 and did a separate fresh install.  both times, after I log into the admin, none of the navigation headers are clickable.  So i can only look at the dashboard… any ideas on why this might be the case?

[edit] looks like is the oscommerce extension that causes the admin navigation to break

I got the same fatal error, but with member function findFirstAvailableMenu().

Note this occurs on my local Windows server, and not on the production linux server.

Fatal error: Call to a member function findFirstAvailableMenu() on a non-object in /home/chiplay/public_html/store/app/code/core/Mage/Adminhtml/controllers/IndexController.php on line 36

I get this when I try to access my admin.  I tried removing the var/cache and it didn’t make a difference.  I need to get this fixed ASAP - any other ideas?

I am also getting the same findFirstAvailableMenu() error

If anyone has any ideas on how to fix that would be great.

To make the admin panel work again try going to yoursite.com/downloader and install the fooman menu fix.

Paste this into the extension key box “magento-community/Fooman_FixHeadPhp” without the quotations.

hope that helps,
Nigel

did anyone find a fix for the following error yet?:

Fatal error: Call to a member function findFirstAvailableMenu() on a non-object in .../public_html/magento/app/code/core/Mage/Adminhtml/controllers/IndexController.php on line 36

I tried the fooman fix and it doesnt seem to have fixed anything.

same problem here after updating Magento to 1.1.2:

Fatal error: Call to a member function findFirstAvailableMenu() on a non-object in .../app/code/core/Mage/Adminhtml/controllers/IndexController.php on line 36

The fix didn’t work

Thanks for any help

So is the solution to reinstall the entire Magento package? How should I go about this, download the entire package, upload the files to overwrite the ones currently on my server? Reinstalling every module via Magento Connect has not fixed the issue. I do not have any products in my store but I have started customizing the settings and created a new theme. Any suggestions?

Hey all, I also had this problem after the Connect upgrade on my test install.

What I did is download the complete 1.1.2 install, unpack it and then I renamed the existing app folder to app.bak, copied the new folder into my magento install and copied the app/etc/config.xml file from the app.bak/etc/config.xml. After that, the login screen came up and I could log in again.

Edit:
Unfortunately, this screwed up my front end display of the demo store… so… I don’t know f this is the way to go :(
Make sure you take a backup of the original app folder just in case…

Second edit:
the default store works fine… it’s just the “modern” theme that’s broken…

HTH

Hi folks,

We had the exact same problem (on a very critical production-system..) and really had to find a solution of this, which we found (after trying a complete reinstall, etc, etc).

So, the solution is rather easy: Log onto your SQL-server using PHPMyAdmin or whatever. Open up the Magento database and locate the core_config_data-table. Then check the values of “design/package/name” and “design/theme/default”. Both these should have the value “default” (our installation had blank fields in these settings).

Hope this helps some of you people also getting into this error!

@aFFi,

I tried your fix it but i still get the error. Those values had “default” and “modern” set in them, so I changed “modern” to default but no luck.

What do the following fields have as values for you?

design/theme/layout
design/theme/skin
design/theme/template
design/theme/translate

Mine all are blank...should the value “default” be set for all of them?

Thanks for the help.

Edit: I just noticed this thread has two errors in it. the error I am receiving is:

Fatal error: Call to a member function findFirstAvailableMenu() on a non-object in /home/chiplay/public_html/store/app/code/core/Mage/Adminhtml/controllers/IndexController.php on line 36

aFFi - is your fix for this error or a different one?

Wow this has not been fixed yet?

I just upgraded to 1.16 and got this same error.

It seem db related. Am I right?

I did not install the new sample data because I have made some changes. Am going to have to? What is the deal? I am running sample data from 1.0.0 something.
