Oopsie!

I installed the Lite version earlier today, like it that much I paid for the full version.

Because I couldnt see any upgrade instructions I performed the following.

1. Uninstalled the Lite Version
2. Uploaded, all the files from the Zip File as per instructions. (overwritting all the Lite files in the process)
3. Went to Products and imported product-gars.xml.

At this point the phone rang, so i went downstairs for 15 minutes. Came backup and there was a warning stating that there was already a version installed, and that i should use Overwrite, Which i did.

It took a very long time, say 5 minutes or something for the product to install, when it "completed" there was only a white screen. I then refreshed admincp but there was no GARS link to the left, and to make matters worse I cannot get into the plug ins area. None of the links under "Plugin System" work anymore. They all show a white screen stating "No input file specified."

Any ideas?

Just a quick update.

I added define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true); to Config to try and disable Plugins - this didnt work I was still unable to access the plugins Area on Admincp.

I also done a repair/optimise on the DB through AdminCP - Still nothing.

Ill keep poking around, but im running out of ideas.
