This worked for me (temporary fix);

Download the patch file.

Change (line 98)

#$lines[$if]['other'][] = sprintf($script, $baseJs.$item['name'], $item['params']);
                    $lines[$if]['script'][] = $item['name'];

to this (basically swap the # from one line to the other);

$lines[$if]['other'][] = sprintf($script, $baseJs.$item['name'], $item['params']);
                    #$lines[$if]['script'][] = $item['name'];

FYI: I just had to do the first part of your instructions and everything seems to be working fine for me now.

Thanks Scend!

chmoded all folders to 0755 and files to 0644 and then chmoded acording to this http://www.magentocommerce.com/knowledge-base/entry/magento-installation-guide everything works now

Dear all,

I have successfully installed Magento here http://lowpew.com/_magento, but when the installation was complete, and the 2 links appear, for Front End and Back End, the following happens:

- Front End site - first page is displayed but no other link works, for every link there is an Error 404;

- Back End site - this doesn’t show at all, I reckon it is because no ‘admin’ folder was created during the installation.

Please advise me on what to do with these issues.

thank you,

Luisa

Hi all,

I’ve made an extension available which fixes the non-working admin menu: adminmenu fix So you can try the method suggested in Post #41 without having to hack the core code. Since the method doesn’t seem to work for everyone the extension will not work for everyone either. It works great on my own installation so worth a try until the issue is resolved by the Varien team. Good luck

Hi Fooman,

I tried to access the downloader as you suggested in the extension, but if I go to http://www.link-to-magento-site.com/downloader I get a 500 internal server error. is it the right link or can I access it some other way?

Thanks

Jesper

Sorry, I fixed the problem by downloading the new Head.php and replaced the old one.

Hi Jesper,

Glad to hear you were able to sort it out. Not too sure if the 500 Error is not related to something else though…

The extension is aimed at the issue with the admin menu not unfolding to lower levels (hence making it unusable).

@FOOMAN: From what I’ve seen, error 500 can be directly related to admin menus not unfolding, because this happens due to failure to load admin javascripts which are combined using js/proxy.php.

If you use Firefox/Firebug, you might see in Firebug/Net tab error 500 for all javascript connections.

chmod 755 js js/proxy.php

and see if it works.

This worked perfect for me.  Thank you.

Although I’m not really happy that I’m already having problems with the production version.

For me it wasn’t related to permissions, If you have set the correct permission and still facing the same issue and you have
access to your server’s php.ini,

- backup your php.ini
- Find “zlib.output_compression” option in php.ini and set it to On
- look for “output_handler = ob_gzhandler” and comment it out (if applicable)
- Restart the apache
- Clear your browser’s cache and reload the admin page
- Enjoy administrating

@ Moshe Thankyou!

Download the patch file.

Change (line 98)

#$lines[$if]['other'][] = sprintf($script, $baseJs.$item['name'], $item['params']);
                    $lines[$if]['script'][] = $item['name'];

to this (basically swap the # from one line to the other);

$lines[$if]['other'][] = sprintf($script, $baseJs.$item['name'], $item['params']);
                    #$lines[$if]['script'][] = $item['name'];

and then this (line 127);

foreach ($this->getChunkedItems($items['script'], $baseJs.'proxy.php?c=auto&f;=') as $item) {
                   $html .= sprintf($script, $item, '')."\n";
                }
//                foreach (array_chunk($items['script'], 15) as $chunk) {
//                    $html .= sprintf($script, $baseJs.'proxy.php/x.js?f='.join(',',$chunk), '')."\n";
//                }

to this (swap the comments over);

//                foreach ($this->getChunkedItems($items['script'], $baseJs.'proxy.php?c=auto&f;=') as $item) {
//                   $html .= sprintf($script, $item, '')."\n";
//                }
                foreach (array_chunk($items['script'], 15) as $chunk) {
                    $html .= sprintf($script, $baseJs.'proxy.php/x.js?f='.join(',',$chunk), '')."\n";
                }

It basically inserts each javascript file individually as the proxy method doesn’t seem to work for everyone. Hopefully the next version will fix the issue.

Thanks, this fixed it for me.

agh… i see. thx for the head.php file.

Hi All,

Don’t know if this will help others or was only a problem for me. I installed Magento-1.0.19700 which installed fine however couldn’t view front or back end.

What fixed my problem.

In my Apache configuration file I changed the following:
AllowOverride None
to
AllowOverride All

Because I noticed the .htaccess file in the magento folder has quite a lot of settings and without that setting the .htaccess file wasn’t working. Now it’s working 100%.

Regards,

Matthew

@ Matthew, would you be able to point me in the direction of the Apache config file, is it usually editable via cpanel? Thanks.
