Just created a switch, this did not show up on the switches list. It then said it could not find some sort of template and now I get this message when I try and access any of the admin area -
Forbidden You don't have permission to access /admin/index.php on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
The forbidden message sounds like a chmod problem. What's the chmod value of the admin directory? If it's 777, you may be on a server that doesn't allow that -- change to 755 and then go to Admin -> Settings -> System and select to use 755 for directories.
Not sure how adding a switch could trigger a chmod there.
I realised I had to cmod the admin directory again to 777, however it was cmoded previously and somehow changed itself after adding the switch... Anyway looks like it is working again.

Thanks Paul,
