My main easysocial admin panel seems slightly broken.

All configuration options work but there is no option to remind me that updates are available. Recent News and App updates also never actually retrieve any information from your servers. The location map does not display any information. It is like the panel is cutoff from the outside world!

In addition when trying to run the maintenance scripts within the admin all scripts fail with a red triangle.

There was no issues with installation?? So not sure what the problem is here.

After some investigation with Firebug it seems the post request runs fine (testing with migration scripts) but a "Invalid Token" seems to form the response.

Hmmm, any ideas?

Thanks.
OK this is resolved

It was a problem with URL redirection not being setup correctly in the Cherokee config.

The folder /administration was not working, you had to use the full URL /administration/index.php. This was leading the POST commands: http://www.mydomain.net/administrator/?option=com_easysocial&_ts=xxxxxxxxxxxxx to no mans land, hence a broken admin.

Once the redirects where setup correctly (For anyone else that may brave Cherokee I have listed them below) all was well again.

Many thanks.

vserver!2!rule!800!handler = redir
vserver!2!rule!800!handler!rewrite!1!show = 0
vserver!2!rule!800!handler!rewrite!1!substring = /administrator/index.php
vserver!2!rule!800!match = fullpath
vserver!2!rule!800!match!fullpath!1 = /administrator
vserver!2!rule!800!match!fullpath!2 = /administrator/

Hello Matthew,

To be honest with you, I really have no idea as to why it's broken but I can only tell you when I am able to access the site to debug this. Is it possible for you to provide us with the back end and FTP access to your site to check on this issue?

Thanks Mark,

To be fair after further investigation I do not think the problem is with easysocial, it is the server configuration somewhere.

I administer my own dedicated server running on Cherokee & php-fpm. I will get back to you.
