Site broken after Mobile Joomla update failed

Hi,

I received today your e-mail about an "important security and stability update" and logged onto my site's backend to update it. However after clicking "Update" it failed and advised me to download it manually.

The problem is now the site doesn't load, same thing with the backend. The frontend gives me this error:

Warning: require_once(/home/xxxxx/xxxxxxxx.com/administrator/components/com_mobilejoomla/classes/mobilejoomla.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/xxxxx/xxxxxxx.com/plugins/system/mobilebot.php on line 40
 
Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/xxxxxx/xxxxxxxxx.com/administrator/components/com_mobilejoomla/classes/mobilejoomla.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php:/usr/local/php5/lib/pear') in /home/xxxxxxx/xxxxxx.com/plugins/system/mobilebot.php on line 40

While the backend gives out this error:

Warning: include_once(/home/xxxxx/xxxxxxx.com/administrator/components/com_mobilejoomla/admin.mobilejoomla.html.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/xxxxx/xxxxxx.com/administrator/modules/mod_mj_adminicon/mod_mj_adminicon.php on line 26
 
Warning: include_once() [function.include]: Failed opening '/home/xxxxx/xxxxxxx.com/administrator/components/com_mobilejoomla/admin.mobilejoomla.html.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php:/usr/local/php5/lib/pear') in /home/xxxxxx/xxxxxxxx.com/administrator/modules/mod_mj_adminicon/mod_mj_adminicon.php on line 26
 
Fatal error: Class 'HTML_MobileJoomla' not found in /home/xxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxx.com/administrator/modules/mod_mj_adminicon/mod_mj_adminicon.php on line 27

Any idea on what could have caused this and most importantly how to solve it?

Thanks.

It means that MJ wasn't updated correctly. Try to reinstall it again, and if it doesn't solve the problem, try to uninstall MJ and then install it again (but in this case all MJ settings will be reset to default).

Thanks for your reply. The problem is, I now am unable to login to my site's backend... correction, I can login but the backend's index page is the one giving out the 2nd error I pasted above, so no site control panel.

Edit: right, managed to get to the components page and reinstall it, which fixed the problem, so thanks for the suggestion. However I got lucky because I had the url in my browser history. MobileJoomla if you don't mind me saying, should be able to exit elegantly from a failed update instead of bringing the whole site down.

In any case, thanks for your work on MobileJoomla, I like it
