Hello everyone,

I do not really know what to do for this initiative to be taken ...

On the advice of another thread I bought Admin Tools pro.
I said to myself made a backup with Akeeba before doing a manipulation,
My goal is to uninstall Admin Tools Free to put the Pro.
And there bingo! Uninstallation: I did it badly, I wanted to uninstall the components, modules, plugin ...
I then ended up with warning messages and error messages ... in the end
So I badly uninstalled the Free version.
I went to Akeeba and saw that it was necessary to uninstall by the package but it only talks about the Pro,
My first reaction is to reinstall Admin Tools Free to uninstall it again with the Package only.
I have the same alerts but no error message like the first time I wrote: only Package uninstalled (but FOF and FEF still cause problems with alerts),
These files appear to be Akeeba frameworks and may also depend on Akkeba Backup.
Akeeba says in a ticket not to touch their various FOFs, but the FEF is not mentioned anywhere ...
So ok but why the alerts on FEF and FOF?

 

What do you think I should do?

I have probably corrupted Akeeba Backup, will it make good backups now?

  • Restore my backup just made before?
  • But how ? Overwrite everything by FTP the site and put the JPA in the root and start kickstart?
  • How to prevent Internet users from coming during the manipulation? Create an index.htm and index.php file to confuse them with a "Wait and come back ..." message
  • Put the JPA without crushing and launching kickstart and it crushes we do not know what?
  • In fact what is the correct procedure for a restore on a site which is running but taken offline?
  • Do nothing and put Admin Tools Pro on top
  • Haven't I corrupted Akeeba Bakup with these FEF and FOF files?
  • Is it worth reinstalling Akkeba Backup as well?
  • I read the tickets on Admin Tools and nothing evokes the transition from the Free version to the Pro.
    On the other hand it is mentioned possible corruption ...

Thank you for your help because I admit I need it!

A little headed before crushing everything and starting from scratch.
Because I don't even like alerts and I tend to start from zero

Install Admin Tools Core.

Install Admin Tools Pro, twice in a row, without uninstall it before or in between.

No further action is necessary.

Thanks a lot for your replay !

You said :

Install Admin Tools Core.

Admin Tools Core: Free or Pro?

What is the right core ?
Included in the Free or Pro package or a specific file and otherwise where I can find it to download it.

Thanks in advance.

Great job Nicolas !

Best regards

There is no such thing as “Admin Tools Free”. It is called Admin Tools Core. That's how it is listed on our site. This is why I called it that in my reply; to help you find it more easily so you can download it from our site's Downloads page.

Let's sum it up again. First install the free version (Admin Tools Core). Then install the paid version (Admin Tools Professional) twice in a row, without uninstalling it before or in–between.

I would also like to point out that instructions on installing, uninstalling, updating and upgrading our software are already included in the documentation. Instructions for installing our software are also available as video tutorials.

I hope this helps!

Hi Nicholas,

Thank you very much for this quick response.
I will proceed with these actions.

However, what I must do for Akeeba Backup ? :

  1. Reinstall Akeeba Backup from above too ?
  2. Uninstall Akeeba Backup then reinstall it ?
  3. or do nothing ?

Thank you for your continued contribution.

Very good follow-up and work for our community.

Same thing applies for Akeeba Backup.

Install Akeeba Backup Core (the free version) without uninstalling it before.

Install Akeeba Backup Professional (the paid version) twice in a row, without uninstalling it before or in between.

We try to make things as easy and consistent as possible across our software :)
