Mandatory information about my setup:

Have I searched the tickets before posting? YES
Have I read the documentation before posting (which pages?)? YES
Joomla! version: Joomla! 2.5.4 Stable [ Ember ] 2-April-2012 14:00 GMT
PHP version: 5.2.17
MySQL version: 5.1.56
Host: (optional, but it helps us help you)
Admin Tools version: 2.2.3

Description of my issue:

Well, this is the first time I have had this happen.

I am creating a new site, I have installed admin tools as normal. I go to change the Super Admin Id. I select the correct username that should be used.

It then loads to a white page saying HALT!

I did do a search but did not see anything. I have read through the docs a few different times to see if for some reason something changed.

Thanks,

Hm, this is a bug. Please open the administrator/components/com_admintools/controllers/adminuser.php file and remove line 34 which currently reads 
die('Halt!');

I have removed line 34 as mentioned but still seem to have the HALT! message

Thanks,

Hm, that's the only instance of the "HALT!" message in the code. OK, this will sound ridiculous, but did you save the modified file?

Yes, I saved the modified file. When I received the Halt! I checked again in case I uploaded the original file. After double checking I confirmed that the line 34 was removed.

If you have more pressing tickets feel free to address them first. I am just getting this site ready for next week.

The first extensions I install on any new site are(Admin Tools, followed by Akeeba Backup.

Thanks.

I'm not sure that the correct line was removed. In any case, I'm finishing up another patch which has to do with the way Joomla!'s Extensions Updater handles AT Pro updates and then I'll be publishing a new release.

Here is the code lines 33-36 with 34 missing.

if($isHuman == 1) {

$model = $this->getThisModel();
$model->setState($prefix);

No Worries.

Thanks.

This is exactly what is should look like. This is how it looks like when I fix it. It doesn't throw the "HALT" message in that case. But, I know what's wrong. Damn browsers and their redirection caching feature which breaks the web as we know... Please do this: log out of your site, clear your browser's cache, quit the browser, open it again, log back in and retry.

I have logged out of my site, cleared cache, closed browser, opened browser, logged back in, still get the Halt.

I have tried the following Browsers:
Opera
Firefox
I.E.

So not sure why it is still screwy on my end?

Thanks

No idea. It's the first time I see a server execute code which is not there?!
