After I had upgraded Admin Tools to ver 3.1.1 from 3.0.3 the CRON scheduled PHP File Change Scanner did not work. I tried a manual scan and got a HTTP 500 error. I rolled Admin Tools back to ver 3.0.3 using the Akeeba restore point and the PHP Scanner is now working. Please advise how to proceed with upgrading to ver: 3.1.1

There was a bug in 3.1.0 which made it impossible to run the PHP File Change Scanner. It was fixed and we released 3.1.1 which includes the fix. Please try installing it again, twice and without uninstalling the existing copy of Admin Tools. This should let Joomla! copy all necessary files.

Thanks for the quick response. Unfortunately it has not worked. As instructed I installed ver 3.1.1 twice without installing the original copy. Ran the PHP Scanner and got the 500 Internal Server Error. So on the off chance I installed again (without removing original) ran the PHP Scan and still got the 500 Internal Server Error. At the minute I have NOT removed version 3.1.1.

I cannot reproduce this issue. I want you to check something. Please open the file administrator/components/com_admintools/akeeba/platform/jfscan/engines/archiver/jfscan.php with a text editor. Take a look at likes 242 to 245. Do they read exactly:
			// Add a new file record
			unset($filedata->sourcePath);
			$db->insertObject('#__admintools_filescache', $filedata);
			unset($filedata);

or is there any of these lines missing?

Yes they do. Copied below in case I missed something!!
// Add a new file record
unset($filedata->sourcePath);
$db->insertObject('#__admintools_filescache', $filedata);
unset($filedata);

OK, I have a good idea at what's going on. Try clicking the "Purge Files Cache" button in the PHP File Scanner page and then run the file scanner again. The scan should now complete without a problem. You won't need to click on that button again before any further scans.
