Plugins page is blank

I recently updated my PHPList to the latest version and now my websites plugins page is blank.

https://<>/lists/admin/?page=plugins

root directory is correctly set in config.php
define(“PLUGIN_ROOTDIR”,“/admin/plugins”);

I got error message “Plugin directory is not writable” with a cross. I clicked on that cross once and now i dont even see any error message.

That is not correct, it should be

define('PLUGIN_ROOTDIR', 'plugins');

Thanks for your reply. I changed it to define(‘PLUGIN_ROOTDIR’, ‘plugins’);. But i still get the error
The plugin root directory is not writable, please install plugins manually

I changed the permissions temporarily to 777, original permissions are 755. But still the error persists.

What else should I try ?

@pdevyani I assumed that you did mean the plugins directory within the phplist admin directory.
There should be about 12 plugins in that directory. Are they present in that directory and does the page list them?

A couple of things to try:

First, could it be that somehow you have created two plugin directories in the filesystem?

Pick one of the plugin files and search the entire filesystem for that file. If it comes up in more than one location, you might be pointed at the wrong one.

Second, enable detailed error logging in Apache (or whatever httpd you are using) and see what the logs say.

Good luck.
