400 Not Found Error on cmsAdmin

Hi

Last week I was working on a client website, and since I didn't want anyone to login to CMSB while I updated certain areas, I restricted access to my IP only.  When I finished the work, I removed the IP and check mark.

My client tried to access CMSB today, and gets a 400 Not Found Error.  If I use my notebook (from where I made the previous changes), I can login.  If i use my iPad, I also get a 400 error.

How can I fix this?

Hi northernpenguin,

You can confirm that IP restrictions are disabled by checking the settings file in /cmsAdmin/data/settings.dat.php (or similar name).

It should show something like this:

'restrictByIP' => '0',
'restrictByIP_allowed' => '',

If that's correct then the next step would be to check the exact URL being accessed and exact error code and message being returned (and let us know).  HTTP 400 is actually "Bad Request" which could suggest a different type of error.

Let me know what you find and we'll help you figure it out.

Thanks!

Dave:  my fault.  When I upgraded to the latest version of CMSB I missed installing index.html and index.php.

Very weird, as it should not have let me login from my notebook.  Everything works fine now.
