I am on Joomla version 3.8.2 with Php 7. I tried to upgrade to CiviCRM 4.7.28 but I received and error message (I didn't capture it) that it could not unzip the file because I have php 7. Unfortunately, I no longer have access to the administration panel as I am getting a blank screen.

These are the error messages:

Warning: require_once(CRM/Core/ClassLoader.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/pastoral99/public_html/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm.settings.php on line 462

Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required 'CRM/Core/ClassLoader.php' (include_path='.:/home/pastoral99/public_html/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm:/home/pastoral99/public_html/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/packages:.:/opt/alt/php70/usr/share/pear') in /home/pastoral99/public_html/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm.settings.php on line 462

Please HELP!

  • Hi @Tee, does the file /home/pastoral99/public_html/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/CRM/Core/ClassLoader.php exist and is it readable by the apache server?

  • Hi Kainuk, ClassLoader.php does not exist in this directory. Looks like some files were not installed during the upgrade.

Check if the file ClassLoader.php is on the file system. The location for Joomla is:

../administrator/components/com_ci‌vicrm/civicrm/CRM/Co‌​re/ClassLoader.php

Part of an upgrade procedure is to remove the old version and unpack the new version in the same place. If the unpacking fails the above error is shown.

Another reason for the same error can be the wrong value of $civicrm_root in the civicrm.settings.php file. More information in question Fails to open ClassLoader.php file .

  • Thanks for your help! Another question, since the failed installation is the culprit and likely the reason I can't access the Joomla administration panel, how can I reinstall outside of Joomla?

  • I am not an expert on Joomla, but if you can try to unzip the Joomla installation files in the ../administrator/components/com_ci‌vicrm/civicrm directory.

  • Actually, I need to install or uninstall and reinstall CiviCRM. The failed CiviCRM installation is preventing me from accessing the Joomla admin panel.
