Admin error?

mortenm · 07.04.2004, 21:49

Now and then i get this when i try log into my admin sextion:

Quote:

The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Invalid at the top level of the document. Error processing resource 'http://www.mydomain.com/administrator/index.php'. Line 1, Position 44

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>Direct Access to this location is not allowed.

-------------------------------------------

Everytime i have to upload the index.php file to gain access again. Why?
Do the file having fun when i am away? Incase so, how? Very strange.

Well..Happy Mambo!

What version of MOS are you using? What template are you using?

MOS v. 1.0.7 (latest right now)
And the visualtech Theme.

The problem is gone now, but i'll bet the same problem will be there tomorrow when i am logging in to the admin section.

This is a rather common error but all threads about is seem to run dead, same goes on the Mamboserver forum. Is there really nobody who knows how to fix this problem?

I have had quirky error messages with the editors. Deleting the browser's cached pages sometimes makes things work again.

Unfortunately, this guru is visiting much later than when the postings were originally made in 2004

The same issue is happening periodically now with Joomla.

A friend had the problem tonight with their site, and Google bought up this thread as a place to look, but with no actual resolution. As TomT pointed out, there's not many solutions online.

But to add more to what TerryG posted, clearing the cache does work.

The problem in my friends case was that the poorly coded template XML caused the initial issue, and IE had cached the faulty page. After changing templates it was still cached, and so eventually refreshing the cache flushed it out.

Easiest way to test if it is the case (aside from deleting your temporary internet files straight away) is to load your page in Firefox or another browser, from which the site will load fresh.
