Terrrible mistake installing update via extension manager

Post by superk84 » Mon Jun 29, 2015 10:04 am

Hy to all.
This is my first post on this forum.
I run a joomla 3.1.4 and wanted to update to newest version 3.4.1.
The website is accessible via this domain: www.scuoladecastro.net

I made a big big mistake by downloading the upgrade kit:
- Update from Joomla! 3.4.0 .zip

Than i tried installing it in Extension installer
what made my site unaccessible, than i modified the preferences.php so errors are displayed.

Now when i want to access the site it gives me:
Fatal error: Call to undefined method JSite::execute() in /var/www/html/index.php on line 40

When i try to access administration site:
Fatal error: Call to undefined method JAdministrator::execute() in /var/www/html/administrator/index.php on line 42

Can someone please HELP ME?

Create a backup of the current website (files + database) so that you can get back to this current situation.

Download Joomla 3.4.1,
unzip on your local PC,
use FTP to upload all files (except the /installation/ folder) overwriting all current files.

After that, you might have to upgrade your database via Extensions > Extension Manager > Database > [Fix]

pe7er point correct way.
That's path upgrade way.
It's safer if you can download source code to your local and try path upgrade.
Make copy folder installation will not worth here, because new version can change some files in libraries etc.
