Completely botched my concrete account trying to update to 5.5. HELP!
Permalink
I installed Concrete over a year ago. I'm an amateur, and my project has been very slow going. Anyway, I just decided to basically reboot everything to use with 5.5. Let me be clear before I get to the meat of my problem: I don't care at all about the content of my site, and I'm totally fine with the fact that it's probably gone forever. The only thing I care about is not losing access to the add-ons I already bought.
That said, I tried to update to 5.5 from the dashboard. First I had to update to 5.4, and that worked fine. After I attempted to update from there to 5.5, my dashboard turned into the following error:
Realizing I'd somehow broken it, I manually downloaded the 5.5.0 files and just overwrote everything using my FTP client. That still didn't work, so then I tried overwriting with the 5.5.2.1 files. Whoops! Site still broken. What do I have to do to get 5.5 up and running so I can start working on my site? Please tell me the add-ons I bought are still going to be accessible to me!
Thanks!

That's definitely good to know! Any thoughts on how to actually get my 5.5 install working?
The Fix..
Download the concrete5.5.2.1 archive from this website..
Unzip it and place the extracted contents in your updates folder overwriting the existing files and folders,
Then run this file from your web browser..

I already overwrote the old files using the updated 5.5.2.1 files, and tried following your link, but it just gave me the same error as going to the main site does. Curses!
have you verified that the file that is trying to be included is actually there?
Also upgrading c5 from the dashboard is a bit sloppy as it adds another c5 core to your overall install, (found in the upgrades folder). This method is also a bit buggy sometimes.
