cilefen commentedWould you please provide the steps you took to upgrade the site? The error suggests that the auto loader is malfunctioning, or that cashes were not rebuilt.

johnwtI ran:
Comment #4
johnwtI have just run:
drush cranddrush updband most things seem to be working.Comment #5
cilefen commentedThose commands are steps in the update documentation, so this isn’t a bug in Drupal.
Comment #7
johnwtI haven't normally had to run these commands from drush, normally I would run them from the admin menu. Is it intended that the admin menu would be disabled without running the commands using drush ?
Comment #8
cilefen commentedBy that do you mean that update.php was inoperable?
Comment #9
johnwtI don't know, but I couldn't access it from the admin menu as I normally would since it was inaccessible.
Comment #10
dcam commentedNo. But updating a site's code always carries with it the potential that the site will be put into a non-functional state. It is intended that an administrator should know how to perform database updates without the benefit of a functional user interface. That's why those update instructions say (paraphrased) "Use Drush or visit
/update.php." They don't say "Click the Run Updates link in the main menu." If I'm not mistaken, the Run Updates link is provided by the contrib Admin Toolbar module, in which case it definitely wouldn't be a recommendation in Core documentation.I'm sorry that you had this difficulty with your site. If you haven't already, then please integrate the official means of running database updates into your update workflow to ensure smooth functioning of your site.
