First I want to say Thanks to both you and Visvanath for trying to help me with this.
Second, I never started any installation which is really the biggest issue. To answer your last post question Emma it is a full version install and not just a plugin. Those I have done without much trouble but the error message I get is one that just showed up one day. I did not start any installation and not finish it, I would have never done anything like that. I have attached a PDF of that page for both of you to see. When I login with my Administrator account in Moodle that is the page that comes up. As you will see there is no way to get out of it, only to "Reload" and restart the installation which I never started in the first place. I honestly have no idea of how it happened because you're right, Moodle doesn't update itself automatically.
That other post one of you spoke of was me. I did try to install the upgrade by creating a new Moodle folder, etc.. only to find that there is no Moodle folder and it is called httpdocs instead of Moodle. Anyway, i am now creating a new folder called httpdocs_new and am uploading the Moodle 2.9 version into it, copying my moodledata folder, I will painstakingly look for all plugins that are marked as "Additional" and find any 2.9 versions, download and unzip them into their correct directories (I hope), then I will copy the config.php file and finally I will call GoDaddy to have them run the commands on the folders to change the permissions to match exactly what the current httpdocs folder and its sub-folders have as their permissions. Since they will not allow me to do that myself since it is a VPS that is all I can do. I believe the permissions may have been the reason the upgrade would not continue before when I first saw the error screen. If that does not work I will just bypass that error screen by logging in as a fake student account, going into a course, copying the url from the address bar and then log back in as Admin and paste that url into the address bar and then I can access the system to add my classes and students etc... I know I shouldn't do that but I really don't have much choice at this point. I only have a couple days. Cron will still not be working but I will just have to let all 800 people know the link to reset their password will not work since the system cannot email them a link. They can just email my help desk and I will fix it manually for now.
Sorry for all of the useless text above. I just figured I would explain the actual issue so both of you knew I wasn't that dumb to actually start an upgrade/install and then want to stop it in the middle.
And finally, the person who started this wouldn't sabotage me. Honestly, I would feel better thinking he may have done it. At least I would know how it happened, Now I am left not knowing how and if it will ever happen again.
