Topic: Server-manager panel categories lost

[axessit]

Having got my server backup up & running, now when I log into the server manager, I only get one heading "unknown" and all the contribs and server panels are listed in some random order. They are all there and seem to work, just nice to have them in their good old order that I'm used to.

Reboot didn't fix it.

Please read this sticky post: http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=40789.0

Thanks for the quick reply. Yeah, tried this but it didn't work. It didn't see any updates either, as I just did this the other day, I am not surprised. Yes, it was working after I did the updates (before my server crashed).

Any other ideas ?

when I read thru this wiki, http://wiki.contribs.org/Translations#Outdated_contribs I followed the instructions under the "Simple (and dirty) way to discover the incompatible contrib panel " section near the bottom. This fixed it.

Than you most likely have installed a contrib that has it's locale not in UTF8 format.

copy the following into, chmod 777 it and run

Which is a work-around. To really solve it you need to find out what is causing it and fix the root cause/have the contrib author fix it.
