Issue with Administrator Section
When I open the administrator URL, it shows without any CSS and a warning: Warning! Internet Explorer should not be used for proper operation of the Administrator Backend.
There is no IE for UBUNTU as yet.
Please help

Re: Issue with Administrator Section
I have Ubuntu as well, and can confirm there is no IE for Ubuntu (fortunately)
That error is displayed for every browser by /administrator/templates/atum/login.php
However, the template's CSS file hides it for all other browsers with:
Can you look in the HTML source for the URLs of the CSS files, which will probably be
/media/templates/administrator/atum/css/template.min.css
Is that file available in your website (check via FTP)?
And could you try to access those via the address bar in your browser?

Code: Select all
<div class="ie11 alert alert-warning" role="alert">
Warning! Internet Explorer should not be used for proper operation of the Administrator Backend. </div>
Because your CSS is not loaded, the IE warning is shown..ie11 {
display: none;
}

Re: Issue with Administrator Section
Could this be a file Ownership issue?

This is likely another case of the dreaded J! 4.x "double gzip" problem (q.v.)

Re: Issue with Administrator Section
Not yet fixed. Sometimes it shows properly and most of the time it is showing without CSS.

Re: The J! 4.x "double gzip" problem
Have you searched this forum for answers (there are over a dozen topics on the subject)? Where have you looked—URLs please—that you "tried ... [with] no success"?

You might need to reload or restart web server process for changes to take effect.
