Administration menu completely gone after upgrade

Same here. However, it from time to time it IS actually there; couldn't find anything to reproduce it every time, but it seems that it comes back (sometimes) when doing saving/refreshing operations on the page.

Try reinstalling the latest version of Drupal and then running the update.php, it restored my administration pages after I was installing some modules and my administration pages vanished leaving just a few on the administration page.

after an upgrade from Drupal 6.13 -> 6.14, and subsequent php 5.2.9 -> 5.3.0 upgrade, @ install & enable of admin_menu-6.x-3.0-alpha3, NO admin menus are shown.

i.e., sseing the same issue as the OP :-/

i've tried reinstall &/or update. no luck -- admin menus still gone.

Apparently updating to the latest dev and running update.php introduced #431202: Identical cache $cid incompatible with CacheRouter to our system, in case anyone sees the same symptoms (menu disappears, blank or a text hash value appears in its place, menu can be induced to appear after flushing caches but disappears when reloaded or any other page is browsed).

I'd like to offer up my fix for admin menu issues.

The wonkiness I experienced has been disappearing menus and it began ever since I first looked at 6.x-3-x and then later installed and customized the admin module for site admins.

My fix - based on comparing setting/db and config with a functioning site, all other things being more or less equal.

First, made a backup of the database and the site.
I then disabled and uninstalled admin-menu-6.x-3-alpha3.
Then I installed admin-menu-6.x-1.5
Still missing chunks.

Then, based on comparison with the database of the functioning site, I removed the `admin-menu` record from the `menu_custom` table.

Via devel, I then reinstalled admin-menu - still not quite there.
The final last ditch effort was reinstalling the admin module and finally, everything was back to normal with admin-menu. I didn't lose any of the custom additions to the admin module's menu, but I had to refile them in the tree.

Happy me. Happy site admins.

I just upgraded php to 5.3 and drupal from 6.13 to 6.14. When I did that, admin menu stopped working. I upgraded admin menu to 6.x.3-alpha and I now get the following warning:

warning: Parameter 1 to theme_admin_menu_links() expected to be a reference, value given in /var/www/html/nwa.strayer.edu/includes/theme.inc on line 617

Admin menu is still not showing.

jacen, please see #586228: Doesn't work with PHP 5.3.0 for PHP 5.3 issues.

This issue has been completely sidetracked.

After removing the PHP 5.3 issues (dupe) and accounting for #511744: /admin page links are broken with latest development snapshot (navigation menu breakage), the only thing left is the original issue (saving the settings form breaks something). Since that still needs more info to do anything about, marking needs more info.

Might even just want to close this, since original opener said "Never mind" and nobody else had his actual issue.

I think we can close this issue, too.

Alrighty.
