I apologize for the delay. My only suggestion that I can give is to make a modification to our JFBCSystem plugin to completely disable it on startup. To do so, edit the /plugins/system/jfbcsystem/jfbcsystem.php file. Around line 26, you'll see:
function __construct(& $subject, $config)
{
$factoryFile = JPATH_ROOT . '/components/com_jfbconnect/libraries/factory.php';Update that like:
function __construct(& $subject, $config)
{
return;
$factoryFile = JPATH_ROOT . '/components/com_jfbconnect/libraries/factory.php';That return statement will prevent our plugin from operating. The JFBCSystem plugin is what enables all other features of JFBConnect. If JFBC is the cause of the 500 error, that should get you in the backend.
If you still have problems, you could try the same addition of 'return;' to the __construct functions of the /plugins/authentication/jfbconnectauth/jfbconnectauth.php and /plugins/user/jfbconnectuser/jfbconnectuser.php files, though I'm confident that won't make a difference if the JFBCSystem plugin is disabled.
Finally, if that doesn't help, all I can recommend is finding your PHP error log (you may need to contact your hosting provider to help assist) to determine what is going wrong during authentication.
Please let us know if that helps or not. We'll gladly do whatever we can to help get you going, but this isn't an issue we've seen before, so I don't have any magic bullets for you right now.
Thanks,
Alex
