HTTP ERROR 500 when clicking "Layout" in Admin area (1.1)

Configuration > Features & Options > Layout

When I click Layout, it crashes. Hmm...

Linux?
Windows?
PHP version?
Some "special" setting?

The only potentially peculiar thing that the page does is scan a few directories for controllers, so it's either a problem with win VS lin file structure or some php extension not working the way it is supposed to. I guess.

Linux. PHP 5.6 (tried on 5.4 as well, crashes too).

Not sure what you mean by "Special Setting" though.. :/

Edit: Woops, I thought you were asking for my own computer's OS. Updated to "Linux" instead. :p

T.T Sorry, it's Linux, not Windows.

Heck.
I hoped it was windows because at least it gave me something to work on...

Could you check the permissions are all set correctly? (Maybe you have some file around in the controllers or addons directories that has a wrong permission/owner?)

All the files in Controllers & Addons are 644. Is that correct?

Ok, let's try to pinpoint the issue.
Could you open sources/admin/ManageFeatures.controller.php search for the line:
Code: [Select]
$config_vars = getFrontPageControllers();
and change it to:
Code: [Select]
$config_vars = array();

No, that's not a fix, it's just to confirm where the issue is.
Now, restore that line the way it was.
Open sources/subs/ManageFeatures.subs.php, close to the end there is this block:
Code: [Select]
	$glob = new GlobIterator(CONTROLLERDIR . '/*.controller.php', FilesystemIterator::SKIP_DOTS);
	$classes += scanFileSystemForControllers($glob);

	$glob = new GlobIterator(ADDONSDIR . '/*/controllers/*.controller.php', FilesystemIterator::SKIP_DOTS);
	$classes += scanFileSystemForControllers($glob, '\\ElkArte\\Addon\\');
Try commenting it out and see if you can reach the page.

Code: [Select]
//	$glob = new GlobIterator(CONTROLLERDIR . '/*.controller.php', FilesystemIterator::SKIP_DOTS);
//	$classes += scanFileSystemForControllers($glob);

//	$glob = new GlobIterator(ADDONSDIR . '/*/controllers/*.controller.php', FilesystemIterator::SKIP_DOTS);
//	$classes += scanFileSystemForControllers($glob, '\\ElkArte\\Addon\\');

Alright done! It works once it's commented out.

So yeah good luck in your next step...  8)

Restore the commented code and comment out only the first pair of lines:
Code: [Select]
	$glob = new GlobIterator(CONTROLLERDIR . '/*.controller.php', FilesystemIterator::SKIP_DOTS);
	$classes += scanFileSystemForControllers($glob);

Yup it still works.

Now, just to double check: restore the two commented lines and comment out the other two.

Just to reduce confusion (because I'm not sure myself what I wrote LOL), the final code should look like:
Code: [Select]
	$glob = new GlobIterator(CONTROLLERDIR . '/*.controller.php', FilesystemIterator::SKIP_DOTS);
	$classes += scanFileSystemForControllers($glob);

//	$glob = new GlobIterator(ADDONSDIR . '/*/controllers/*.controller.php', FilesystemIterator::SKIP_DOTS);
//	$classes += scanFileSystemForControllers($glob, '\\ElkArte\\Addon\\');
