Hi,
I' dont have "Configuration" --> "Menu configuration" just have Configuration --> Survey Menus.

This has just happened after upgrading to 5.3.0+220228, about an hour ago.

Thanks,

João

Oh sorry, the interface has been updated. Then go to "Survey menus" and click "Reset" on both tabs available there. Let us know if it fixes the issue with global settings.

Where did you get that link from, to global settings? Do you have it book marked, or did you click in the menu?

You can also let me know the content of your folder modules/admin/ in web root.

Done.

Nope. Tried with an private window in Safari and Firefox:

The error
"Alias "application\controllers\admin\globalsettings" is invalid. Make sure it points to an existing PHP file and the file is readable."

Maybe a permissions issue ?

If so, I am the system manager and I can fix it.

I've cliked in the menu

You can also let me know the content of your folder modules/admin/ in web root.
[root@ls limesurvey]# cd modules/admin
[root@ls admin]# ls -al
total 0
dr-xrwx--- 4 apache root 46 Aug 12 2020 .
dr-xrwx--- 4 apache root 31 Aug 12 2020 ..
drwxrwx--- 4 apache root 37 Feb 28 13:10 globalsettings
drwxrwx--- 4 apache root 54 Aug 12 2020 HelloWorld

There might be a conflict between the controller and a module in modules/admin/, that's why I need to know if it's been deleted by the update or not.

OK, move or remove the folder globalsettings from modules/admin/ and try again, please.

[root@ls admin]# mv globalsettings/ globalsettings_old

It worked.

Great, but bad news for our other CU updates. :/

Maybe a new LS release ?

We'll see if others report the same problem.

I can reproduce the error. But after deleting the empty directory it is NOT working for me.
Instead I get

"Alias "application.controllers.admin.GlobalSettings" is invalid. Make sure it points to an existing PHP file and the file is readable. "

Same with me, unfortunately.

A fix is pushed, waiting for the CI.

Fix committed to master branch: http://bugs.limesurvey.org/plugin.php?page=Source/view&id=33299

Thank your very much for fixing this bug so quickly!

H.P.

Fixed in Release 5.3.1+220301
