I wonder if someone may ba able to help

[Happygolucky]

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

Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required '/var/www/vhosts/crocodileproductions.co.uk/cpcontacts/admincp/dbtech/status/hooks/init_startup.php' (include_path='.:/opt/plesk/php/7.1/share/pear') in /var/www/vhosts/crocodileproductions.co.uk/cpcontacts/admincp/includes/init.php(357) : eval()'d code on line 28"

But the init file there and is chmod 777

Thanks

[Dave]

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

[Happygolucky]

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"

[Dave]

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.

[Happygolucky]

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

[Dave]

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)

[Happygolucky]

Thank you So much.

That did it
