Hi
thank you for the fast reply
I did not receive any notification of your reply so I am glad I came back
I experimented with removing things (renaming folders to sh404sef.disabled) etc
the thing that was causing the error was the shlib
renaming that to shlib.disabled got the site running again!
I now see this message
Error
sh404SEF requires the shLib system plugin to be enabled, but you appear to have disabled it. Please enable it again!
I will try to reinstall now.
You asked why we restored?
I had a team member using git on the production server and they ran a command that caused git to delete all the joomla files that were not in source control!
We had a backup from the previous day.
But when we restored (no changes to the DB. Just literally a file backup.) we had this issue with shlib
I tried 3 different backups (3 separatd days) and had the same issue with each.
do you have any idea what woudl cause this error? All the files in shlib seem to be there (same as previous backups)
I would like to understand this in case it happens again.
Thanks!
Do you need to look around the site?
I made you a super-admin:
