Mandatory information about my setup:

Have I read the related troubleshooter articles above before posting (which pages?)? Yes
Have I searched the tickets before posting? Yes
Have I read the documentation before posting (which pages?)? Yes
Joomla! version: 2.5.9
PHP version: 5.3.14
MySQL version: 5.1.36
Host: Local Nas (Qnap)
Admin Tools version: 2.4.4. 


Description of my issue: 

I installed Admintools V2.4.4. and Akeeba Backup V3.6.12. I installed these because these are the only versions which install and run without errors.
When I update Admintools to a higher version, no matter which version, at first it (Joomla) tells me that everything is installed fine (in green) but when I click components -> Admin Tools I will have a HTTP 500 error.
When I change .htaccess to htaccess.bak and restart Apache, same error.
When I change back to .htaccess and put at the end of the file:
php_flag display_errors On
php_value error_reporting 32676
and in Joomla change to error reporting -> development

it wil give me the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method FOFInput::getCmd() in /share/MD0_DATA/Web/Joomla1/administrator/components/com_admintools/dispatcher.php on line 70

I experience the same problems on Joomla 3.0.3 (on the same Nas) and the same when I upgrade Backup to any version higher than 3.6.12

Can you help me with this error?

Please follow the instructions in https://www.akeebabackup.com/home/news/55-general/1502-troubleshooting-instructions-for-feb-2013-releases.html to properly downgrade to the earlier releases. The issue you are reporting is a known issue with certain versions of PHP 5.3. I have worked around it and will release new versions of my software this week with this fix included.

I followed them and even installed everything twice or do you mean downgrade to 2.4.4. and 3.6.12 and wait for your fix?

Yes, I mean that after following the instructions, instead of installing 2.5.2 and 3.7.2 install 2.4.4 and 3.6.12 instead. During the week I'm going to publish 2.5.3 and 3.7.3 which fix the problem.

Ok, thanks!!

At first I installed Admintools with Liveupdate from Admintools to V2.5.3.pro. This was succesfull. Then I switched to AkeebaBackup. This gave me again a HTTP 500 error. Then I switched to the extension manager and I updated Backup to V3.7.3. 

After updating the 2 programs I have no errors 500 anymore.

Thanks for the update!!
