I wonder if someone may ba able to help
 

My site (www.spankingcontacts.co.uk) has become unreachable since a crash yesterday. If I try to access the control panel I get the first message. But the config.php file is there and is correctly annotated and when I look at the server logs I get the second batch of errors.

All help gratefully received...

First one could be due to incorrect permissions on the file as well.
Second one seems that the DBTech Status & Moods (?) plugin is missing files on the server, maybe re-uploading the plugin files will fix that issue.

Thank you Dave
I've restored those files and now get

"
PHP Warning: require_once(..../dbtech/status/hooks/init_startup.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in ..../includes/init.php(357) : eval()'d code on line 28

But the init file there and is chmod 777

Thanks

It's possible that the group:owner (chown) setting is not correctly set of these files.

Thanks Dave
I uploaded a fresh set of files and am now getting

"Error: Using $this when not in object context in ..../dbtech/status/hooks/init_startup.php on line 17"

Looks like a code error in the plugin or a corrupted file, maybe it's better to just completely remove or disable the plugin for now.

Yes, could I maybe do that with a mysql query?

Add
define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);
to the /includes/config.php file, then login into the admincp and disable the plugin. Then remove that line again to turn back the hook system (and plugins)

Thank you So much.

That did it
