Hi everyone,

I've been playing with ezPublish for a while. Recently I got version 3.4.1 and everything seemed smooth-sailing until just then. All of a sudden my machine crashed and after the reboot, I cannot access the admin page anymore.

My system:

WinXP Pro Service Pack 1 (I know, I know, my Linux devbox died 2 days ago :( )
Apache 1.3.27
PHP 4.2.3
MySQL 4.0
eZPublish 3.4.1

Everything else on my site (hosted locally) works except for the admin page. The link to the admin page on my system is: http://localhost:8000/micah/index.php/eng_admin

However all images on that page are now dead links as they are now set to: http://localhost:8000/design/blah/blah whereas the right path should be: http://localhost:8000/micah/design/blah/blah

Once I try to login, I get this error - it says that I'm trying to look for this URL: http://localhost:8000/micah/index.php/eng_admin/index.php/eng_admin/user/login

Which obviously wouldn't work. I read this: http://www.ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/configuration/troubleshooting/404_page_not_found

But: I'm not running PHP in CGI mode, I'm not running Apache 2.0.x and my PHP mem limit is set to 80M + execution time is 120sec.

Edit: just noticed that I can't even set CheckValidity=true to rerun setup like I was able to. It doesn't seem to have any effect whatsoever.

I'm pulling my hair out atm. I spent two days customising and modifying things, and all of a sudden it's gone :( I backed up my files and tried to rerun setup but it would fail right at the end (was too pissed off to notice the error message but it was something to do with unable to load modules).

Any help would be highly appreciated.

If I had more time, I would write less code.

Hah I fixed it !!! Apparently there were some corrupted files in the cache folder because of that crash (just realised that the cache folders are there :P ) so I just deleted everything in cache manually and reload the pages. It's all good ! I hope this will help someone if he/she runs into the same problem :)

If I had more time, I would write less code.
