Upgrade from 3.1 to 3.2 Fatal Error in Administrator Page

[tosi]

Hi

After trying to upgrade from Joomla 3.1 to 3.2 using the Upgrade Button in Administrator Backend I got the following error message:

Fatal error: Call to a member function get() on a non-object in .../plugins/system/remember/remember.php on line 94

The frontend seems to be fully working, but the backend allways displays this message and noting else. No way to login or do anything.

Below are some details from the forum post assistant.

I am having the same issue:
Fatal error: Call to a member function get() on a non-object in /home/xxxxxx/public_html/plugins/system/remember/remember.php on line 94

after updating from joomla 3.1.5 to 3.2. PHP version is 5.3

If there is no solution yet I will have to re-install my site--

[lucylyn]

Any update on this, I am also having this error

Fatal error: Call to a member function get() on a non-object in /home/..../plugins/system/remember/remember.php on line 94

[lucylyn]

I just deleted remember.php and my site seems to have come back!

[dlxmcs]

Same here, just want to have an official resolution, as I want as quickly as possible to get my site back!

[Hazzaa]

Here is my solution
Rename your file remember.php to rememberBAK.php so it looks like this
/plugins/system/remember/rememberBAK.php
Find a copy of Joomla 3.1.15 and make a copy of the remember.php
FTP the file to your folder
/plugins/system/remember/remember.php
Now access your admin panel
Go to Extensions -> Extension Manage -> Database
Click Fix
Now go to ftp, delete the remember.php that you uploaded and rename the original one to it's correct state

Joomla updates do not update the database and this needs to be done manually.
For not developers, the above method is the simplest and quickest way

Good luck

Find a copy of Joomla 3.1.15 and make a copy of the remember.php

I've been struggling to find files for Joomla 3.1.15 and tried to use the remember.php from Joomla 3.1.1. That didn't work.

Where could I find a bundle of Joomla 3.1.15?

[Hazzaa]

Rename your file as posted above. The site will allow you to access the admin panel long enough to fix your db
Then name the file back and it should be fine

I've done the above. If I click on Database I get this error message:

1146 Table 'xxx.bam30_content_types' doesn't exist SQL=SHOW COLUMNS IN `bam30_content_types` WHERE field = 'content_history_options'

That is the same error I've had all the time.

[LampyDave]

I used the file from 3.1.6 and that seemed to work.

Many thanks to 'Hazzaa' for the tip.

The 'Fix' button is a little hard to find, and is at the top left of the 'Database' section of the 'Extensions Manager' tab. I mention this only for other newbies (like me) coming across this error.

That is the same error I've had all the time.

Are you able to see the option to "Fix" database? or is the entire screen white with just your error?

[suem]

Thanks Hazzaa!
I had that problem in remember.php, then when I renamed and replaced it I had the same thing with joomla.php, so I did the same again. That got me to the error page, then I could get to the Database page with all the database errors listed - it's a pity the Fix button is small and a bit obscure up in the top left corner, I expected it to be below the errors...
Anyway, I've found it and we're up and running again

[pochat]

Hi Hazza,

I got the same error and I am not able to see the FIX button.

Any ideas?

see image.

[Binarix]

still i cant find the fix button. So i am trying to repair the table via phpmyadmin. is it a good idea

Thanks Hazzaa, your solution worked fine for me. I downloaded Joomla 3.1.6 and took the files from there. First I needed /plugins/system/remember/remember.php, and than also /plugins/user/joomla/joomla.php. Replaced them both with the older version. Fixed the database and put the newer files back in place. It seems to work now. Thanks.

[alagazam]

Are you able to see the option to "Fix" database? or is the entire screen white with just your error?

I don't get a totally white screen. I can see the top menu but no buttons, except a "Return to Control Panel" button. But if I press that button I get another error message.

The "Fix" button isn't there at all.

If I press Database I get this error message:

1146 Table 'xxx_stalberg.bam30_content_types' doesn't exist SQL=SHOW COLUMNS IN `bam30_content_types` WHERE field = 'content_history_options'


If I press Control Panel I get this error message:

1146 Table 'xxx_stalberg.bam30_postinstall_messages' doesn't exist SQL=SHOW FULL COLUMNS FROM `bam30_postinstall_messages`


My site is working in frontend and as far as I can see all menu items are working in backend, except Database and Control Panel.

[Hazzaa]

For those of you displaying sql errors, try accessing the page this way
administrator/index.php?option=com_installer&view=database

If you see the page, there will be a "Fix" on the top left corner

I had the same proble.
I just install Update package (http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla ... ge_id=6783) manual.

[petersw]

I had the same problem. I couldn't fix the database. So, if you get the error on the "Fix" database option you should create the table "xxxx_content_types" in your database (mySQL) by the following SQL query:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `xxxx_content_types` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL,
`content_history_options` varchar(5120) NOT NULL COMMENT 'JSON string for com_contenthistory options'
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

where xxxx is your dbprefix in your database, e.g. 'd3hrs_'. You must change xxxx to your dbprefix!!!

After that the "Fix" database option should work!

Thanks for that.

[sovainfo]

And you should use the code from installation/sql/mysql/joomla.sql:

Code: Select all

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `#__content_types` (
  `type_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `type_title` varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  `type_alias` varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  `table` varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  `rules` text NOT NULL,
  `field_mappings` text NOT NULL,
  `router` varchar(255) NOT NULL  DEFAULT '',
  `content_history_options` varchar(5120) COMMENT 'JSON string for com_contenthistory options',
  PRIMARY KEY (`type_id`),
  KEY `idx_alias` (`type_alias`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB  DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 AUTO_INCREMENT=10000;

Replacing #_ with your own prefix.

I am getting this Error when l try to access Extension Manager

Catchable fatal error: Argument 2 passed to JAdapterInstance::__construct() must be an instance of JDatabaseDriver, instance of ShlDbClass given, called in /home/flexpeac/public_html/administrator/components/com_sh404sef/classes/baseinstalladapter.php on line 54 and defined in /public_html/libraries/joomla/base/adapterinstance.php on line 46

I need help

[sovainfo]

So, what does line 54 of com_sh404sef/classes/baseinstalladapter.php say?
What does the developer of sh404sef say? Does he provide a fix?

[CarlosL]

Hallo Hazzaa,

THX for your fix it worked fine for me.

But one question: During the upgrade I have got the ERROR: The archive file is corrupt, truncated or archive parts are missing.
The installation success hold on at 68,6% (before your fix).
How does I know if the installation is now complete and that there now no essential files are missing?

best regards carlos

[almignardi]

Hallo,
I have a similar problem , I get a white screen both when I try to open
mysite.nl/administrator/index.php
and
mysite.nl/index.php?option=com_users&view=login
I have no clue what to do , could you please help? Have very little experience.
Thank you very very much!!

[mxup]

I have some problem - after upgrading from 3.0.2 to 3.2.0

[alagazam]

And you should use the code from installation/sql/mysql/joomla.sql:

Code: Select all

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `#__content_types` (
  `type_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `type_title` varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',

  `table` varchar(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
  `rules` text NOT NULL,

  `router` varchar(255) NOT NULL  DEFAULT '',

  PRIMARY KEY (`type_id`),

) ENGINE=InnoDB  DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 AUTO_INCREMENT=10000;

Replacing #_ with your own prefix.

Thank you very much!

Try removing the folder ./libraries/joomla/plugin.

What seems to be happening is that a lot of folders which should get removed during the 3.1 to 3.2 update, aren't getting removed if (I think) you use the ftp layer. So if you have a J! site which is fairly old, and has been through a number of updates, and (probably) if you use the ftp layer, you have folders and files which should no longer exist.

As a result, the wrong plugin model is being autoloaded, from the old ./libraries/joomla/plugin folder, instead of the new ./libraries/cms/plugin location.

If you look in ./administrator/components/com_admin/script.php, you'll find a big list of folders and files in the deleteUnexistingFiles() function, starting around line 279. You'll probably find that all of the ones after "// Joomla! 3.2" in those lists still exist on your site.

I'd suggest removing them all by hand, to make sure you don't get any other autoloader snafus.

[sovainfo]

Or cli/deletefiles.php in your browser.
It executes the function of that script you are referring to. Saves typing!

Here is my solution
Rename your file remember.php to rememberBAK.php so it looks like this
/plugins/system/remember/rememberBAK.php
Find a copy of Joomla 3.1.15 and make a copy of the remember.php
FTP the file to your folder
/plugins/system/remember/remember.php
...
Good luck

Thanks Hazza!
I tried your solution, but I can't find a joomla3.1.15...
So I tried the next option - just to change and login - but I still get errors.
Can you or any one else who reads this post - post the file remember.php from 3.1.15
here!?

I see that many members fall with this situation.

Thanks in advance
