Manager login disappeared

    Yesterday my test installation of MODx 2.0.0a5 was running fine.  This morning I turned on my computer, went to the Manager, and got an almost-blank page:  It shows the copyright line, but not the login box.  The HTML source contains:

    <div id="mx_loginbox">
    <br />
    <div id="panel-login"></div>
</div>
<!-- close #mx_loginbox -->


    ...so it looks like the login box is not being included in the page.

    On the other hand, the end-user website works fine; so clearly the MODx core is functioning.

    There are no errors listed in the Apache, PHP or MySQL logs.  I’ve also reset my Safari browser, and rebooted my PowerMac G5.

    I’m running the current version of MAMP with PHP 5 on the current version of Leopard on a PowerMac G5.

    Any suggestions?

      That is the correct HTML source for the login box. The rest of the HTML is built via ExtJS.

      Are you getting any JavaScript errors in your browser’s javascript error console? I can’t replicate this error.

        The web browser’s error console reports:
        SyntaxError: Parse error http://localhost/modx2a5/manager/ (line 28)

        There are no Apache, MySQL or PHP error log entries

          I’m assuming this is in Safari 3 (latest)?

            Can you post the whole source of the page on pastie.org, or something, so we can see where that line might be?

            And what browser and version of browser is this? OS?

              Hey, pastie.org is pretty cool! here’s the source: http://pastie.org/293971

              I’m using Safari 3.1.2 or Mac OS X 10.5.5 (Leopard) on a PowerMac G5, running MAMP Pro 1.7.2 with PHP 5.2.6 (with Zend optimizer and cache OFF), PHP memory set to 16MB, MySQL 5.0.41, Apache web server (not sure what version, but sure it’s recent).

              Again the really odd thing is that this was working for a week on this same system...

                Found it:
                var SITE_NAME = 'Bill's test site';


                Was a bug with the ’ in the name. Will fix this in SVN. To fix it in yours, get rid of the ’ or change it to a encoded char.
