Today I was making a few changes to my template (Modulus on Joomal 1.6) and noticed that a update of Gantry was available. After upgrading Gantry it then showed that a upgrade was available from RocketTheme. When I ran the update I was kicked out of MissionControl and cannot log in to the backend. Get the following message:
Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/appliedc/public_html/411/includes/version.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/php52/pear') in /home/appliedc/public_html/411/administrator/includes/framework.php on line 36
Which is:
if (!class_exists('JVersion')) {
require JPATH_ROOT.'/includes/version.php';
}
The version.php is missing, but not sure what to do from here.
Not sure what happened. Could not get the admin access errors cleared so I scrubbed the site and started over with all new Joomla 1.7 and Gantry and its working fine now. Something must have just gotten screwed up when I ran the update.
If nothing else it was a good lesson on keeping a up-to-date backup.
