Hi all,

I've been struggling to get a website online since yesterday. I am migrating an existing website and right now the site has been offline for about 30 hours. So, any quick help would be really, really appreciated.

Anyway, I've been doing some working as the main admin (the site is currently in maintenance mode) but after I returned to work on it after a while, I found that all of a sudden a lot of links on the main admin page are missing (see: http://www.kleinverzet.nl/admin_missing.jpg). I haven't done anything especially strange. I needed to update a few links, did some checking, but nothing unusual or complex.

Any quick ideas what could possibly be the cause out of the blue would be really appreciated. Thanks!

de link van je plaatje doet het niet,

heb je al geprobeerd om de cache te legen bij prestaties en bij modules een update uit te voeren misschien is je database in de war, en welke versie gebruik je de laatste 6.9?
en heb je daarbij ook je cookies verwijderd van je browser en alle tijdelijke bestanden dit kan ook nog wel eens fout gaan.

Thanks. I'll reply in English. :)

First, the picture is working again. I've decided to roll back the old site for now because it's needed mostly during the week. Danman28 asked if I've cleared the cause and ran update.php. The answer is yes in both cases. Also, the question of whether I'm using Drupal 6.9 is affirmative, as is the question of me having cleared my browswer cache and temporary files.

So, for now, I've just rolled back to the previous Joomla/SMF installation. I'll spend the next few days going over some stuff to figure out why the site runs perfectly on a localhost, but not online. As far as I could see, the important parts aren't awfully different (PHP memory limit, and so on) configured. It's not a major issue to delay the launch of the site for a little longer now that the old site is up and running again.

Still, any clues what on earth might be causing the main admin account to lose access to quite a few pages (also to node/add for example) would be welcome in trying to prevent this from happening again.

Was just editing some permissions related to ImageCache and then half my administration options disappeared. Not on admin screen and can't access via URL. Exact same problem as above. Any ideas how to fix?
