Got an email notice today of an Akeeba Update to 3.9.0 for one of my client sites, so I clicked the link and upgraded Akeeba just fine with one exception. I got this error after the installation:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class JDispatcher in /home/MYACCOUNT/public_html/www.MYWEBSITE.com/libraries/joomla/event/dispatcher.php on line 279

When I googled the error, minus the site-specific information, I found this article that had a similar error: https://www.akeebabackup.com/support/admin-tools/16841-akeeba-admin-tools-and-back-up-just-show-a-blank-page.html

The suggestion was to disable whatever plugin might be causing the problem. When I disabled the System Restore Point plugin, the error disappeared. If I re-enable the plugin, the error returns. Should I try to disable other plugins to see if it resolves the issue or is this truly an issue with Akeeba's restore point plugin?

Thought you might like to know, Nicholas.

The only plugin of type "system" that removes the error is the System Restore Points. Is the error caused by a plugin or could it be a module? Don't know if this makes any difference, but this site was an upgrade from Joomla 1.5 way back when.

Here's something crazy. When I open dispatcher.php and look at line 279, all it has on that line is this character: }

I'd install it if I could find it on your website. :-) I only see 3.9 listed under Akeeba downloads.

Installed Akeeba 3.9.1 manually and no more error! Only thing that's a little "off" is that Akeeba shows version 3.9.1 as installed and new version of 3.9.0 "Found Update" icon. Is that because I installed the update manually? I think it is, but don't remember.

Thank you so very much for publishing a fix to this issue. You're the best Nicholas!
