Hi there,
Sorry if this isn't the right place to post - its not a template problem as such but I'm struggling to find answers elswhere.
I upgraded my J1.5 to J1.7 using Jupgrade as I wanted to use the later themes and improve security. The upgrade went well and I modified the site in the /jupgrade subdirectory. I ran low on disk space so decided to replace my root (main site) with the new one by copying all the files from the subdirectory to the root. Now...
- The front end works fine (see www.thecoven.biz )
- But when I try to log in to the back end (with correct or incorrect details) I get the following:
Fatal error: Call to a member function login() on a non-object in /home/ive10609/public_html/administrator/components/com_login/admin.login.php on line 64
Now the upgrade just added tables into the existing database for the new site - I've changed nothing here and I also copied over the configuration/index etc files to the root.
Am I missing something obvious - I'm asking here because I think there are some very good php/joomla people taht use/work with rockkettheme.
Thanks for your help

/administrator/components/com_login/admin.login.php should not exist in Joomla 1.7. Could you please send me a PM with your FTP details point to your Joomla root folder, so I can check directly to your problem? Or you may try this:
- Backup your entire site first
- Delete the administrator/components/com_login directory
- Then unpack the default Joomla 1.7, and restore the com_login from the there

Right - Its sorted
I couldn't fix the site ...
* I backed up the database and all image files etc
* Created a new database
* Cleared out my root directory
* Reinstalled a clean Joomla 1.7 - checked it worked ok
* Re-uploaded my image files etc including rokgallery images
* Redirected joomla to the original (old) database
* BINGO!

- I'm having this same problem with a migration to 2.5, is there a simpler way to resolve than reinstalling a fresh joomla copy and starting over?
