don't see how it could be related... but i just did a git-update on two of my joomla sites and now i get a '500 internal server error' on both when i try to get into /administrator.

doing some addl debugging now and i'll update. but i'm pretty sure that the only change i made was to run the git update.
 
I just did an update, all seems to be ok.
You can try to disable the Fabrik System plugin directly in your database (should help if it's coming from Fabrik)
 
FYI. I was able to finally Clear this by changing the mod of all directories to 755 and files to 644. Don?t know which one was out of whack.

But if I redo the wget from GitHub the error comes back.

So something in the GitHub has invalid permissions maybe?

Also disabling all fabrik plugins didn?t stop the error. Weird.

I looked and the issue is that many joomla directories (plugins, modules, etc...) are being changed to 775 by the github update. when i change them to 755, it works.

i can't explain why inappropriate/too much access hurts, but it does seem to in my situation. i do have RSfirewall! on both of these sites, but disabled that on the db (i think) and fabrik plugins and still wouldn't start with permissions set 775.

here's what i know for sure: when i run this command, it breaks administrator on my sites:
wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/Fabrik/fabrik/tarball/master -O - | tar -zx --strip-components 1

when i run this command from the webroot, i can get on to administrator:
find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
