Hi,

I just created a new radiant app, with the usual “radiant appname”  
command. Then I did the usual steps: creating config/database.yml, the  
production database, bootstrapping the database, changing owner of  
files for the web server user, configuring and restarting web server.

Then when I log into the admin, everything seems ok, I can even create  
a homepage. But I don’t see the Pages | Snippets | Layouts tabs!  
And there is no extensions, not even the default Markdown and Textile.

I noticed the if I manually go to the admin/snippets page for example,  
it works. It’s just the tab that’s missing.

I was using 0.6.0 so I upgraded to 0.6.1 and rebuilt the entire app,  
restarted web server and processes but no more luck.

What is very weird is that my precedent app still has all tabs and  
extensions working. How can they disappear in my new app?

How can I get my tabs and default extensions back?

Thanks!

J.M.

Just to be sure, I copied the two default extensions from  
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/radiant-0.6.1/vendor/extensions/ to  
my app’s vendor/extension dir and restarted the processes. Not better.

Also I read from the Radiant list that non-“Developer” users are not  
shown the tabs. So I created a new user with “Developer” and  
“Administrator” powers. But with this user, I don’t see the tabs  
neither.

Forget that. I killed -9 every ruby and lighttpd processes and  
restarted it, and now it’s running the correct Radiant 0.6.1 (gem)  
with tabs and extensions 😉

Dunno why it did not correctly reloaded when I used  
script/process/reaper.

Anyway, thanks for reading me!
