Then let us start by finding the corrolaries between the two grumpy
Mambos. Is this the same Mambo, just ftp'd down from the server?

Second, install a clean 4.5.2.1 on your local machine in a different
folder. Test it, does it perform like it is supposed to?

Then do the same on your server.

The reason I ask this is to find out if there is a config issue with
your server(s), and if you can get a 4.5.2.1 install running happily
on those machines then we need to look at your Mambo install. Here's
how I'd approach it:

1) install a clean 4.5.2.1 on the machine, to test and see if Mambo
will run well
2) make a copy of the trouble site, upgrade the copy to 4.5.2.1
3) do a full backup - restore of the database (will clean up a lot of messes)
4) migrate each component/part of the problem site to a new, clean,
running Mambo (to see exactly what part of Mambo is causing the
trouble, if it is even Mambo)

Testing on localhost is the best way, as you eliminate network
performance from the variables. If you start down this list, you
should have a pretty sharp idea as to where the trouble is coming
from.

Sorry to hear you are having such a unique problem, keep feeding me
info and I will try to help you figure it out :-)

On the admin interface the top menu bar (Home, Site, etc) has dropdowns that do drop down and if you "Stop" and then click a drop down the browser (Mozilla 1.4.3 on RHEL WS 3.0) the lizard acts like it is doing something but nothing ever happens. If I kill that window and try to log in again it just hangs after I give name/apssword and "enter".
