When I clic update admin tools to latest verion error comes up:
JFolder::create: Infinite loop detected

and joomla offers to intall manually which I have tried but not succeeded :(

Everything worked fine before. It looks like I'm doint everything correctly...
I also tried istalling latest admintools but it' just seems like nothing happens after I hit upload&install button.
I tried changing permissions and replacing .htacess with blank file but nothing works....

Combining the "nothing happens" you mention with the ticket's thread, I assume that something does happen, you get a "JFolder::create: Infinite loop detected" error. In this case, please note that this is not a problem with our software, it's a problem with permissions on your site. Please follow the installation troubleshooting instructions, especially the parts regarding the tmp directory and FTP options.

ok
here's what i have done:

Go to your site's administrator back-end and click Help, System Info from the top menu.

Click on the Directory permissions link

Scroll down the page and find the first Cache Directory line. It is the fourth from the bottom of the page.

Next to the Cache directory label you can see a path, e.g. /home/myuser/public_html/cache

Replace the cache word with tmp in that path, i.e. /home/myuser/public_html/tmp and note down this path. This is your new temp path.

Go to Site, Global Configuration menu item from the top menu.

Click on the Server link

Find the "Path to Temp-folder" and replace its contents with the new temp path from step #5.

Save your Global Configuration



I also have done the same with logs folder because it was unwritable and was set to system global...

the problew was in these unwritable folders.. tmp and chache..


I actually had to uninstall and install admintools again because I thought that the broblem was in it...

yes it has worked.
everything seem fine..

only one thing
redirections were deleted with old version of admintools
i have to set up one redirection again...
I have joomfish which causes some url problem....

i want to redirect all trafic from
http://www.mysite.com/ru/flowers/beautiful_flowers
to
http://www.mysite.com/ru/flowers/flowers
and joomfish adds this /ru/ thing :)

so to redirect i do it like this from admintools:
existing url: http://www.mysite.com/flowers/beautiful_flowers
new url: /ru/flowers/flowers

right?
I actually had a ticket opened about this but I cant find it...

I remember the ticket. The end result was that /ru/ is added by JoomFish and then removed automatically before the URL is passed on to Admin Tools. You won't be able to make this redirection. You have to redirect flowers/beautiful_flowers to /ru/flowers/flowers

Nope, use relative URLs (without the domain name).
