I've recently upgraded my moodle from 3.2 to 3.7.
I've passed the upgrade part where it shows the list of insalled plugins.
Going into my site works, i can see it upgraded (css is a lil messed up) the problem is when i try to access the administrator area (even through direct links to specific sections of administration) i receive the following errors:

Exception - Class 'core_search\manager' not found

Themes have changed in 3.7.

Suggest adding a line to config.php to force the theme to one that comes stock with a fresh 3.7 until you can check compatibility of your current theme.

$CFG->theme='classic';

If you have command line ... purge caches using the php script in moodlecode/admin/cli/

Appears to be related to plugins check ...  theme? a block? ... search?

What do you have in /theme/?   3.2 had a boost and boostphase ... 3.7 does not have boostphase and boost has been moved to core according to release notes on 3.7.

Can you go directly to:

https://yoursite/admin/blocks.php

or for mods:

/admin/modules.php

environment check:

/admin/environment.php

from ssh in moodlecode/admin/cli/

issue:

php cfg.php |grep search

Were you using solr search before or built in simple search?

Did you check addons/3rd party plugins for compatiblity with 3.7 prior to upgrading?

See if you can get to:

/admin/plugins.php?updatesonly=0&contribonly=1

directly.

Also ... this last line in debug ...

line ? of unknownfile: call to default_exception_handler()

Don't think you used git to upgrade from 3.2 to 3.7 so you followed the docs on how to upgrade.

Those say to move the entire moodle code directory to an archive area.  Upload the 3.7 zip, unzip, that creates a moodle directory.  One then copies back from archive config.php and any addons to appropriate locations in new code.

If you rename folders ... like teachernotice/ to teachernotice_old/ then manually install an update compatible with 3.7, moodle still sees the _old ... if that's what you have done, create an archive directory outside of moodle code ... if in /local/ you did something like that .. in the archive directory create a local subdir, then move the old folder to archive/local/

So on upgrading, site gets updates to DB for core code first.   Then check plugins and get updates for them via the Admin Web based interface .... yes, I know you can't get there right now ... we fix that ... then you can! smile

It was indeed one of the plugins from the old version, that wasn't compatible with the new version.
I a=have yet to figure out which one but i'll get there by adding them one by one (it could be one of my own as well)
Thank you for all the help!
