[Solved] list items toolbar disappeared after extending a web application

[ming]

I'm on WSS3 and RadEditor 4.5.6, I extended my web application to the Internet zone, when i tried to edit a list item the editor toolbar didn't get loaded for either the Internet zone or default zone, no toolbar showed up when editing a list item, but the toolbar for web part works fine. The "Use radeditor to edit list items" feature is activated, i tried deactivate and reactivate, even tried retract/deploy solution, nothing helped.

This is my listconfigfile.xml
  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
- <!--

    Config File valid structure:
    <configuration>

Hello ming,

  The first time you activate a RadEditor feature, you must be logged as an Administrator user. This is required, because the editor needs to update the default list editing template by copying a file - from \TEMPLATE\FEATURES\RadEditorFeature\RadEditorList.ascx to \TEMPLATE\CONTROLTEMPLATES\RadEditorList.ascx. The file is copied by the IIS worker process, which in turn is impersonating the currently logged in user. That is why you need to be logged in as an Administrator to be able to copy the file. Once the file is copied, any user can activate/deactivate the RadEditor features.

The RadEditorList.ascx file will stay until you uninstall the RadEditor for MOSS product. This means that if you upgrade to a newer version of the editor, you will need to re-activate (deactivate and then activate) the editor feature in any of the sites (only one is needed) in order for the RadEditorList.ascx file to be copied again. After this, as a last step , you could try to reset IIS.
