Introduction
From time to time Joomla may display an error page instead of the page you were expecting. There are two types of error page:
- The system error page has a red background. It is invoked if there is a serious error before the site or administrator template is rendered.
- The template error page looks like the normal site or administrator template but the content area is replaced with an error message. This is invoked when the error occurs in content code.
System Error Page
You're likely reading this because your Joomla site has had some sort of fatal error and given you a message similar to the above.
There are two likely reason for this:
- A system plugin is causing failures on your site
- A change has been made to your host (e.g. a PHP version upgrade that isn't compatible with an extension or Joomla itself if you are running an old version)
How to resolve
If you've made any recent changes to your system plugins disable the system plugins one by one in the database until you find which one is responsible (remember you should not need to disable any core Joomla system plugins).
edit /configuration.php
Change
$debug = false;
to
$debug = true;
save the file and then reload the error page. This will then give you the REAL error message and a debug stack trace to help identify the root cause of the problem
