Clicking CMS page takes you to the dashboard

[robfico]

In admin under: Content -> Pages, clicking any page does not allow it to be edited. It just redirects me to the main admin dashboard page. By design, or a bug? Magento ver. 0.42.0-beta1

system.log does not show any errors besides this for each admin page click:
2014-12-17T23:12:06-05:00 CRIT (2): Invalid template file: ''

Just checked on fresh installation and can't reproduce the issue.
You see such behavior only when click on Content-Pages or any other menu in admin? Maybe issue with wrong URL during setup.
Check this troubleshooting - http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v1.0/install-gde/trouble/tshoot_admin.html

I did a generic install per the docs, no errors. I can use every other feature in the admin panel, just when clicking on a cms page to edit, it sends me to the main dashboard page. I cleared all caches, restarted php-fpm, etc... The first time I go to the list of cms pages, it says 4 records found, but the table is empty. If I click pages again, it populates, but I cannot edit.

Environment:
centOS 6, 64-bit
Apache 2.2.27
PHP 5.4..35 (using mod_fastcgi [SNAP-0811090952] for php-fpm integration)
MySQL 5.6.22

Maybe an issue with php-fpm using mod_fastcgi in Apache?

The only errors in system.log are these lines that output after any admin function is clicked:

2014-12-18T08:20:23-05:00 CRIT (2): Invalid template file: ''
2014-12-18T08:20:46-05:00 CRIT (2): Invalid template file: ''

Those system.log records are not relevant here.

Can you double check that your browser cache is not the cause that outdated JS files are used:

• empty " /pub/static/" folder to get all static files refreshed
• remove or disable for a moment your browser cache

[robfico]

Emptied pub/static folder
Used new browser (firefox) that I had never logged into admin before.

• First time I went to cms pages list, ajax spinning icon did not stop, no list.
• Second time I went to cms pages list, only listed partial info in columns
• Third time it listed all cms pages and columns, click on page, takes me to the dashboard

I can use any other feature in admin panel, add new block, edit block, etc...

If you need/want admin access to see this, just let me know where to send info (vps container)

Only errors in system.log on initial admin login after emptying pub/static

fyi - i wiped the install, did another clean install (used web based setup, no errors), and still the only feature that does not work in the admin is trying to edit a content page. It just sends me to the admin dashboard page when clicked:
/magento2/admin/admin/dashboard/index/key/

[robfico]

I turned off secret keys in URLs. After doing that, when I click a content page to edit, the page shows "404 Error - Page Not Found". The URL it tries to go to is:
/magento2/admin/admin/cms_page/edit/page_id/3/

However, if I manually change the URL to:
/magento2/admin/cms/page/edit/page_id/3/
(note the extra /admni is removed and cms_page is changed to "cms/page")

the edit works. Seems somehow the URL is being altered incorrectly in the admin area. Hope this helps. I can edit any block or frontend widget just fine in the admin. It's just the content pages.

FWIW having the EXACT same issue.

[nyov]

I'm not quite sure why there are so many urls with a hardcoded extra 'admin/' in the backend,
but it's obvious when you change the backend path during installation to something else, such as 'backend', that a lot URLs look like

.../index.php/backend/admin/system_config/...
.../index.php/backend/admin/dashboard/...
.../index.php/backend/admin/widget_instance/...

Anyway, since those links worked before and looked like a regression, I dug through the changes, and though it's probably wrong, this diff reverts a file and fixed the problem for me:

@nyov Thanks for this. It worked for me as well. Now we wait to see if the issue persists in the next update.
