Fatal error: Class 'JApplication' not found in

[pnajafi]

Dear All,

I just installed Joomla 2.5.6 by extracting in to HTDocs of XAMPP 1.8.0 [PHP 5.4.4]
folder. At the second last step where I was installing Joomla I hastily went ahead and deleted the installation folder because my tutorial manual said to do it for security reasons. Since I had not completed installation and did not go to Finish page, it stopped working.

So I deleted the whole Joomla folder and reextracted it from original zip file again. And this time when I try to access localhost/joomla I get the following error:
Fatal error: Class 'JApplication' not found in C:\xampp\htdocs\joomlabeta\libraries\joomla\factory.php on line 102

Do you have any ideas on how to resolve this?

Additional info: in the factory.php line 102 I have:
self::$application = JApplication::getInstance($id, $config, $prefix);

And using ctrl+f I can only see one decleration of JApplicaiton on the top but it is commented out:
abstract class JFactory
{
/**
* @var JApplication
* @since 11.1
*/
What or who modified this?

Hi
I don't think your installation has gone through properly. The part that you had commented out is meant to be a comment.

JApplication class is defined in <joomlaroot>/libraries/joomla/application/application.php file. Check if that exists and if so appropriate permissions are granted for the file/folder.

Hi This problem is resolved. I re-extracted the Joomla Zip file under htdocs and called it a different name (before was joomlabeta now I call it joomlagamma).

Thanks.
