I attempted update to 3.9 and experienced the 500 server error. I restored a backup and can no longer edit files in front end. The image enclosed is the result for the "Edit" or "New Upload" features in jdownload.
Can I reinstall over the existing installation to correct this?
What is the best way to recover the upload and edit features?
Current version 3.2.69.
www.watchawear.com
When error checking the edit page, I get this error:
Fatal error: Cannot declare class JDownloadsHelper, because the name is already in use in /home/watchawear/public_html/administrator/components/com_jdownloads/helpers/jdownloadshelper.php on line 25
When trying the upload page with error checking, I get the following. (see image)

Hi,
please check the installed jdownloads plugins. It seems that you have activated the new 3.9 example plugin but also the old example plugin.
Please deactivate both plugins and try it again.

I think this is the result from the interrupted upgrade process. Nobody else has a problem like yours.
Thank you for the reply.
I only find 1 plugin Jdownloads example. If I disable, I get same results,
Should I install the 3.2.69 over the existing one?
Also, I noticed in the database, that most of the jdownloads rows had a backup
Are you sure that you have restored the complete backup?
Something must have gone wrong here. ::)

You can try it but I'm not sure that this can help.
(The DB table was copied by the upgrade process from jD.)
Please can you send me the log file from the upgrade process via PM? This file should exist in /administrator/logs. Thanks.
I do not see a logs folder or file. Likely because it is turned off in configuration
Trying to reinstall the 3.2.69 version did not help
Hi,
as you have write before:
QuoteI restored a backup
are you sure that this backup has restored
the DB and the files structure?
Please try to check this. You could also try to repeat the restoring process. Is it an Akeeba backup?
It is not possible that you have a different situation after the restore process than when the backup was created.
I agree that it has something to do with an incomplete backup. I will attempt another restoration.
Unfortunately, I no longer have the backup. It is being rejected by akeeba. So I am at a loss here Arno.
Wolfspyryt,
Do you still have the copy of the database entries with _backup_3_2_69' appended to the names in your database? And do you still have all the downloadable files in the jdownloads directory?
If yes then please, please follow the notes in
https://www.jdownloads.net/documentation-for-v3-9/getting-started-v3-9/reverting-back-to-jd3-2
If you do not have the files then it is possible to 'decode' a backup.

Colin,
Yes, I have the database with the appended named entries.
Yes, I have 100% of the files.
Thank you for your help. I am devastated that this was broken. Your work has been instrumental to my website and performed very well over the many years I have used it. That leads me to the conclusion, that your software is still the best and this is a result of an unrelated issue. You and Arno are 2 of the best developers around, so let me again say thankyou.
Any additional assistance/help/advice is appreciated.
Terry

A huge thanks to Colin and Arno! Once again you gentlemen have assisted me in solving a problem.
After following the above documentation, I am happy to report that my site is back to normal. Arno & Colin are the best. You two not only guided me to the outcome I wanted, as always, you both helped me learn. For that I am twice as happy and thankful.
Cheers to Colin and Arno!!!
