 I've been working to upgrade this 2.5 site locally, doing a fair amount of working cleaning it up and updating extensions. Half asleep, I managed to initiate the J3 update on the remote site instead of locally. (bad start to a bad day) So I took a backup and restored that to the remote site. Now the site is throwing blank pages on both front and back with this error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare non static JDatabase::$dbMinimum as static JDatabaseDriver::$dbMinimum in /path- to/driver.php on line 20

I have tried renaming htaccess. and I've looked for this error on the web but haven't turned anything up.

Can you help? I'd appreciate anything!

At wits end. :(

You can't restore your 2.5 backup over a 3.x site. You need to manually delete the files and drop the tables in the database. Then do your restore again. That should fix you up.

Bummer. Ok. I'll try that. Thanks for responding!

Andrea,

A difficult answer is better than a mystery. I hope your day gets better.
