Folks,

After doing the automatic upgrade for Akeeba 3.4 in the Joomla administration, I can no longer get into my Joomla Administration panel. Any thoughts on why this occurred and how I resolve the problem?

Thanks,
Joe

Akeeba Backup 3.4.0 is not compatible with the "System - Legacy" plugin shipped with Joomla! 1.5. In order to regain access to the back-end of your site, please delete the plugins/system/srp.php file and the administrator/modules/mod_akadmin directory from your site's back-end. At this point, you have two choices:
a. Go to Extensions, Manage Plugins, find the "System - Legacy" plugin and unpublish it. This plugin is only required when you are using extremely outdated software which was initially compatible with Joomla! 1.0. If you are not using such software, just disable the plugin.
b. If you are using such outdated software (and you can't update them), do not disable the plugin. Instead, uninstall Akeeba Backup 3.4.0 and install an earlier version, e.g. 3.2.7. IMPORTANT: Older Akeeba Backup versions are NOT supported and you will have to downgrade at your own risk.
