Hallo Alex! In the installation ZIP there were too many plugins supplied and I thought they are trial versions. I activated the download plugin. It says: Fatal error: This file has expired. in /***/plugins/protect/downloads/downloads.inc.php on line 0 This gives an Error in the entire Admin, which should NOT and MUST not. There after there is no admin page at all!!! Deleting this file, I can get into the admin. However it says: WARNING: Plugin file (/***/plugins/protect/downloads/downloads.inc.php) for plugin (protect/downloads) does not exists in line 54 of file plugins.inc.php So, I cannot even get into the Setup of the plugin and deactivate it! It is hard to beleive that in this area no one else had similar problems. If all the supplied plugins are expired, why are they supplied in the first place. Thanks in advance.
Hallo! I solved the problem by cheating the scripts. I took the joomla Plugin and multi-renamed all the words where downloads should appear instead of Joomla and uploaded to the respective directory. I also renamed the filename to download.inc.php. The error went away as the scripts were satisfied with the basic function it needed to do. This allowed me to deactivate the plugin and delete the directory. However this is not the very best way to solve the problem.
