Hi I have a site for using Joomla, the site was coded by some guys in India about 4 years ago. The website has been working fine until today when the following error shows: Warning: main(/home7/naasp/webs/www.naasp.org.uk/htdocs/includes/version.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /export/home/flathead/naasp/webs/www.naasp.org.uk/htdocs/includes/joomla.php on line 71 Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home7/naasp/webs/www.naasp.org.uk/htdocs/includes/version.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/php-5.0.5/lib/php') in /export/home/flathead/naasp/webs/www.naasp.org.uk/htdocs/includes/joomla.php on line 71 I need to get the website back up ASAP but have no technical knowledge of Joomla. Is there anything I can do to get the website back up? many thanks
It looks like, somehow, your version.php file is missing from your includes folder. The joomla.php file is trying to find it for inclusion, and that is what's causing the error. Navigate to that folder and confirm whether the file is indeed not there. If you are missing that file, simply get your hands on the correct original zipped files for your Joomla version, extract version.php, and upload it to your includes folder. If the file is there but you're still getting that error, then your server file path is screwed up for some reason.
did you add on any extensions/applications recently like sef stuff? also check your webhost. sometimes they do auto backups.
