"Access Denied" for the admin user after upgrade

It seems OnHandleRequest was added to the modManagerRequest class early last year, after I originally discussed the context switching plugin. Just add the check as BobRay suggested.

Sadly, this didn’t work for me. While I DID have a plugin that was switching contexts based on url, I went to the extent of
- uninstalling all packages
- re-uploading
- disabling then *deleting* all my plugins manually (having backups of course)
- manually emptying the cache
- restarting the browser and liberally emptying browser caches
- asking it very, very nicely by means of an uploaded photo of a box of chocolates

...yet I still I’m greated with an "Access denied" on the document tree and most other parts of the Manager. I don’t even have permission to logout from the manager.

Is there anything other than packages, the cache, or plugins that could be causing my woes?


(Thanks!)

Same symptoms here. I also happen to use a context switching plugin. Disabling it directly in the db did not help.

I was upgrading from 2.08 to 2.13. I’m trying an interim update now, going from 2.08 to 2.10 first and working my way up.

Results:

2.08 - 2.13 - Fail (Access Denied)
2.08 - 2.10 - OK
2.10 - 2.13 - Fail (Access Denied)
2.10 - 2.11 - Fail (Access Denied)

Now to figure out why.

Ok, so it appears that I can successfully upgrade to 2.11 or even straight to 2.13 as long as I disable the context switcher plugin BEFORE performing the upgrade.

I checked it a few times. If I leave it enabled and then upgrade I can’t recover from the "Access Denied" messages even if I disable it via a direct DB edit.

Maybe this will help someone else who is stuck.
