Access to ACP is Broken - French
Access to ACP is Broken
I am running phpBB version 3.1.6, and therefore in following the instructions I installed French Language pack 2.6.0.
When I enable this language within the user control panel, both links to the ACP do not work (The link at the top left, and bottom center). They both post an error as shown in the attached screen shot.
This only happens when the French Language pack is enabled. To get around it, I back out, re-enable English, and then the links work fine again.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Should I try installing a newer French Language pack version even though they are recommended for newer versions of phpBB?
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Re: Access to ACP is Broken
Do you happen to know where I can look up the hyperlink within the programming?

Re: Access to ACP is Broken
Did you installed your phpBB board on your own or did you used an automatic tool provided by your web hoster? Can you please copy and paste here the web adress your web browser is trying to access when you click on those ACP links? Are you sure that you're using the 3.1.6 version of the phpBB forum software, nor the 3.0.6?

Re: Access to ACP is Broken
I installed it on my own since my board is on a private server. I have direct access to the root files, and don't have to mess around with FTP or install tools.
Since it is on a private server, if I copy and paste the link here, nobody will be able to access it anyhow. Yes, I am sure my board is 3.1.6 and the language pack is 2.6.0. Maybe I will try to see about upgrading my board and language packs to both the newest versions and see what happens after that. The URL at the bottom of my web browser shows that the French ACP link is correct (as far as I can tell), so I'm wondering if it has something to do with the servers limited access to the outside world.
Thank you again for the time and effort you have put in to help me out, I really do appreciate it. We may not have found a solution, but I have learned a little and now have a narrower scope of the issue at hand.

Re: Access to ACP is Broken
Concerning the link, it was just to be sure that the structure was good, like http://www.example.com/adm/, but you're aswering to that question in your message.
Yeah, try to upgrade to the latest stable versions. You can even try locally with phpBB 3.2.0, the compatible French language pack version is located here).
You can open a new topic on the 3.1.x Support Forum, I'm sure that you'll get some better support, my coding skills are limited.

Re: Access to ACP is Broken
I was altering some language files. If you use an English keyboard to enter language into the french file, apparently it gives the error mentioned above. You can delete info all day long, but as soon as you add or enter data, then it pitches a fit.
I ran into the same issue when I installed the latest and greatest versions of the board and language pack, and it hit me to undo the very last thing I changed, and voila, board came back.
So good news: the original language pack was probably perfectly fine the way it was (which is why you didn't have any issues with it)
Bad news: I personally caused myself (and you) un-needed headaches.
Thank you again for your help, and I apologize for sending you on a wild goose chase.

Re: Access to ACP is Broken
The OS I'm running is Debian 8. As for text editing, I am using an SSH interface (Putty) from my Windows PC and command line to edit the files. As to the details on how the files are saved using that method, I don't know.
To be honest, I'm a toddler when it comes to php and Linux. I know enough to get by almost self sufficiently, but most of what I do is basically an advanced level of screwing up. I go out, I screw up, and I learn from it. I come back the next day and I screw up way better than I did the day before.
