error "Controller not found" when logging into BO dashboard

[ferp2]

Hello,

 

I have a new installation of Pshop 1.6.0.5. When I log into the BO, I get a "Controller not found" error message. If I log out and log back in, it takes me to the Dashboard. If I log out, empty the cache, and log back in, I get the "Controller not found" message again.

 

httpd error_log shows this:

 

Trying to get property of non-object in /home/xxx/public_html/cache/smarty/compile/12/f7/e8/12f7e8062917514599979f3d16ee7533cfda043e.file.page_header_toolbar.tpl.php on line 64, referer: http://domain.com/adminxxxx/index.php?controller=AdminDashboard&token=b9c17004592964b0cb6329a5f7e5ceaf

 

I've seen this post, and it doesn't help: http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/318517-solved-error-controller-not-found-on-bo-dashboard-when-logged-in-to-bo/

 

controllers/admin/AdminDashboardController.php exists in my installation.

 

Any suggestions,

 

Thanks.

I have the same problem. I am just upgrading to 1.6. On my first log in to admin in 1.6 I got this message "Controller not found". It does not say which controller is missing. I have installed 1.6 several times, but each time I get the same message. The error must be in the installation files.

Each time I log in, the message is there. The installation works apart from Featured products on the home page and New Products. There is a conflict. They will not work together. If both enabled, they both display at once, the link tabs are frozen together and do not function. Also, I cannot upload my favicon from Preferences/Themes. I press all the right buttons and select the correct file. I get "changes saved" message but the favicon does not change. 

Could the missing controller be responsible and if so, which one is it and how can I fix?

Just to add - All my files seem to be present - none are missing, including AdminDashboardController.php , so the fix suggested for other users will not work for me

All was ok for a few days. I have done nothing to my website for three days, receiving orders ok, now when I try to access my site (cactus-shop.co.uk) this morning, I cannot see the site and I cannot access the back-end. The error message still mentions the Admin Controller:

Try erasing your cache (advanced parameters, performance, clear smarty cache), and then check the folder's permissions
