Mandatory information about my setup:

Have I read the related troubleshooter articles above before posting (which pages?)? none avail
Have I searched the tickets before posting? yes
Have I read the documentation before posting (which pages?)? yes
Joomla! version: 2.5.11
PHP version: dual platform 5.2 + 5.3
MySQL version: 5.0.96-community
Host: my own dedicated server with 'host gator'
Admin Tools version: 2.5.5

Description of my issue:
When I click the 'Emergency offline' button and then 'set offline' I get this error message:

"500 - An error has occurred.

PHP 5.2.17 is not supported by Admin Tools.

The version of PHP used on your site is obsolete and contains known security vulenrabilities. Moreover, it is missing features required by Admin Tools to work properly or at all. Please ask your host to upgrade your server to the latest PHP 5.3 release. Thank you!

Return to Control Panel"

I have PHP5.3 installed on the server(as well as 5.2) and have selected that this particular domain use the 5.3 version by adding the following code to my .htaccess file:

"## Mod_rewrite in use.
AddType application/x-httpd-php53 .php
RewriteEngine On

## Begin - Rewrite rules to block out some common exploits."

When I click the 'Return to Control Panel' I get this error:

"Warning: require_once(__DIR__/autoloader/fof.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/aquarius/public_html/libraries/fof/include.php on line 24

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '__DIR__/autoloader/fof.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/aquarius/public_html/libraries/fof/include.php on line 24"

For now, I simply then deleted the '.htaccess' file and renamed the '.htaccess.eom' file to '.htaccess' so I have access to my admin site again.

EOM will replace your .htaccess file. As soon as that happens, edit it and append:
AddType application/x-httpd-php53 .php

at the very bottom of the file.

No need to thank me. The answer was inside your question, you just hadn't realised it :)
