Problem with massive outdated site

[dvharrison]

Hi

I am in the process of upgrading a website that originated from 1.0 and has in the past been upgraded to 1.5.

Luckily for me I'm installing this on my XAMPP localhost as it is in one heck of a state! However, I am getting the following Fatal error:

Fatal error: Cannot re-assign auto-global variable _FILES in C:\xampp\xxxxx\xxxxxxx\components\com_fpss\fpss.class.php on line 345

Can anyone offer any insight into how I can resolve this? I am aware that this particular message is from the Front Page slideshow component.

I have a feeling this is going to be one of many problems with this site.

Thanks in advance.

disable the offending extension

Thanks for your reply.

I cannot even access the administrator panel to disable anything.

I have gone to PHPmyadmin and disabled it from there (I assume its 1 - enables and 0 - disabled)?

Ok well 6 months down the line (Ican't explain) and I have disabled the extension in php my admin, but I now get the following error:

Code: Select all

Fatal error: Cannot re-assign auto-global variable _FILES in C:\xampp\htdocs\xxxxxxxx\components\com_fpss\fpss.class.php on line 345

I can also get the login screen for administrator, but as soon as I log in I get:

Code: Select all

Fatal error: Call to a member function Quote() on a non-object in C:\xampp\htdocs\xxxxxxx\administrator\components\com_jfusion\plugins\phpbb3\user.php on line 35

Please could anyone suggest what I need to do? Everyone seems to have the problem but no solution.

Ok. No one offered advice so instead I will tell everyone what I did to change this:

The front end issue, was solved by changing the line

Code: Select all

function uploadMedia(&$_FILES, $name, $option, $subfolder="", $width=200, $quality=80) {

To

Code: Select all

function uploadMedia($files, $name, $option, $subfolder="", $width=200, $quality=80) {

The admin issue was resolved by running the following SQL query:

Code: Select all

UPDATE jos_plugins SET published = 1 WHERE element ='joomla' and folder = 'authentication';
UPDATE jos_plugins SET published = 1 WHERE element ='joomla' and folder = 'user';
UPDATE jos_plugins SET published = 0 WHERE element ='jfusion' and folder = 'authentication';
UPDATE jos_plugins SET published = 0 WHERE element ='jfusion' and folder = 'user';

I just hope this helps someone else.
