scrap that .... admin and site are accessible but now cannot make any changes to layout boxes .... checked the log and .............. [03-Jan-2015 10:17:20 UTC] PHP Fatal error: 1054:Unknown column 'show_box_min_width' in 'field list' :: select layout_id, layout_box_name, layout_box_status, layout_box_location, layout_box_sort_order, layout_box_sort_order_single, layout_box_status_single, show_box_min_width from zen_layout_boxes where (layout_template='classic' and layout_box_name NOT LIKE '%ezpages_bar%') order by layout_box_location, layout_box_sort_order ==> (as called by) /admin_folder/layout_controller.php on line 241 <== in /includes/classes/db/mysql/query_factory.php on line 155

theres nothing in EZ-pages on the admin backend, if this can be fixed by replacing a file then thats an option for me as theres really nothing to loose on the website at the moment
