Joomla.. New articles going blank

From article Manager When I click the new icon to start a new article the page goes blank, This is for Joomla 1.5,and when I edit the log file I foun something like this :

Fatal error: Call to a member function update() on a non-object in...

 

This is an editor problem, to solve it  :

1. check your configuration.php file and find what editor you have there. for me it was ckeditor.

2. check if this editor is installed or not. in my case it was not installed.

If that the case , just install a new version of your editor.

Administrator login page keep refreshing

On Joomla 1.5 , After transfer the database sql file to a new Joomla installation , suddenly I cannot enter the back-end of the joomla site , I am sure the the login credentials are ok , I am using the right user name  and the right password  .  I tried to enter a wrong user and password and Joomla send  an error message .
This was caused by some modules or plugins turned off some variables in the database in order to use its own resources.

The Solution :

 Using PhpMyAdmin find  the table  jos_plugins and check that the raw    "User - Joomla!"  is  published  (published column contain 1) if not and that often the case then publish it , insert (1) in the published column.
