    This is a continuation of the two threads from the EE2 support.

    The database and files/folders are back from before the EE 2 update.

    So it should be back to 1.6.8, but I am still getting the error

    Just to be really really clear, Justin, can you confirm the following.

    * Database is 1.6.8
    * config.php file is from your 1.6.8 install, and you have moved it to system/expressionengine/config/config.php

    thanks!

    I had originally changed the system folder to contentmanagement so that is what it is called now. Also the config file is at contentmanagement/config.php I thought that is where it was before. There doesn’t seem to be an expressionengine folder in the system folder.

    Justin,

    Yes, you are right and that is what Greg meant to say 😊

    Can you post what you have in your config.php Hide any details that you don’t need public like db username password etc.

    Justin,

    Let’s try something (hopefully) a bit more simple. Can you try doing a version upgrade to 1.6.9?

    I didn’t try that update, but our server admin guy restarted the server or something and then it worked. The sites are up, but now the control panel has no styling to it.

    Never mind. It is working now after a page refresh. I guess that is all the help necessary. Thanks.
