Roles & Permissions : Strange Admin Error

Monday 14 February 2005 4:05:28 am

Greetings,

I've recently been asked to work on some else's Exponential 3.5 installation.

I set out to complete the work only to find that their Exponential installation had a very serious problem. Sure the site works in almost every way properly except

The roles and permissions page displays properly ( admin.example.org/role/list ) but does not list any roles, not even the default Exponential roles (like administrator, anonymous, etc). I also can not create or edit the default Exponential roles (like administrator which exists but does display on /role/list).

I receive the following error message : from /role/edit/0)

The requested page could not be displayed. (3)
The requested object is not available.

Possible reasons:

    * The ID number of the object is incorrect. Please check the URL for spelling mistakes.
    * The object is no longer available.

I don't know what could possibly be causing the error. This is the first time I've ever encountered this problem. I'm not sure just what could be missing, incomplete or corrupted that would cause a problem like this.

fyi, I am logged into Exponential as the 'admin' user and the rest of the admin works properly. Any suggestions, questions and feedback would be most appreciated. I'd really like to manually repair the problem if at all possible instead of reinstalling Exponential from scratch and rebuilding the site, design and content.

B,

Yeah, I thought about that first too!
This is what i get ....

mysql> SELECT * FROM `ezrole`;
+----+---------+---------------+-------+
| id | version | name          | value |
+----+---------+---------------+-------+
|  1 |       0 | Anonymous     |       |
|  2 |       0 | Administrator | *     |
|  3 |       0 | Editor        |       |
+----+---------+---------------+-------+
3 rows in set (0.04 sec)

hrm...

Björn,

I was using a clean kernel / mostly / basically default configuration. So i'm going to just say the database was hosed, corrupted, screwed up.

I back-ported my content & design into a stock Exponential 3.5 and wouldn't you know it, I don't have any more problems :)

Well, that not entirely true,
I have serious problems (don't we all),
but no more problems with Exponential (stock) regarding this problem.

Thanks for your suggestions, they are much appreciated!

cheers,

do the right thing (tm), close your Exponential forum threads, don't leave us all hanging / wondering what ever became of that guy & his issues ...
